About the Book
Purpose. Burnout. Escaping to nature. Several hundred years ago, robots abandoned society and disappeared into the wilderness, leaving humans to rebuild their world. When a tea monk decides they need a break from it all, they’re surprised to discover that perhaps their robot companions didn’t vanish after all. Tag along on Dex and Mosscap’s journey as they explore purpose, satisfaction, and what humans really need in this award-winning novella.

A Zoom link will be emailed to all who register during the week of the event.

While this event is free, participants will need to obtain their own copy of A Psalm for the Wild-Built. We encourage you to check your local library or find the book in hardcover, e-book, or audiobook format.
