![]() Sibling Dex and Mosscap experience both interior and exterior lives of humans and humanity through one another and with one another. I would warn you… compared to all that it’s kind of… boring? It has none of the things that make for compelling, gripping, thrilling entertainment. Maybe something HBO Max can pick up for prestige drama. Maybe all sorts of things that would make for a good movie or miniseries. Maybe something with thrills and adventure. The synopsis sounds like something that it isn’t… something about robots. Therein, Dex encounters Mosscap, a robot with a mission to find humans and ask a simple, single question: What do you need? Sibling Dex is a tea monk who, in a moment of existential crisis, decides to venture to the wilds where no human has gone since the robots left to do their own thing, separate and apart from the humans that created them. These two novellas – not sure if we can call them a duology just yet, considering I don’t know the plans Chambers and Tor have for the series yet – are exceedingly kind, gentle, and comforting reads. ![]() Which aligns with my reviews for my first reads of 2023 that aren’t library/ work-related: Becky Chambers’ Monk & Robot novellas, A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. Thanks for exiting and offering a platform for whatever T H I S is that I need for right now… First time in years that I’m bothering to review. First comment on Pajiba two days ago (after 10 years of lurking). ![]()
