    Winner of the Hugo Award! In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, bestselling Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk and Robot series, gives us hope for the future. It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot. Becky Chambers's new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?

    Pokračování solarpunkové série Mnišstvo a robot Po strastiplné pouti divočinou se čajové mnišstvo Echo a robot Hnízdo pustí do putování po obydlené části měsíce Panga. Echo však brzy zjistí, že ani pobyt v divočině a následný návrat do lidské společnosti nemusí naplnit vnitřní prázdnotu a Hnízdo se začíná přesvědčovat,že odpověď na jeho výzvědnou otázku, co lidstvo doopravdy potřebuje, je zřejmě mnohem složitější, než se zprvu zdálo. A obstojí vůbec jejich křehké přátelství, vzniklé v samém srdci divoké přírody, i ve společnosti ostatních? Hnízdo i Echo se vypravili na cestu s vidinou jasného cíle, avšak postupně se ukazuje, že pokud setrvají na předem vytyčené trase, možná tam nedojdou.
