A Psalm for the Wild-builtA Psalm for the Wild-built

In this first book of a new series by Hugo Award-winning author Becky Chambers, it's been centuries since the robots of Earth gained self-awareness, laid down their tools and wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honour the old promise of checking inches 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.
