Everything you need to understand or teach A Psalm For the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.
A sci-fi tale set in the future envisioning a world where humans have fled Earth, Becky Chambers’ A Psalm for the Wild-Built tells the third-person story of Dex, a young adult searching for their purpose in life, when they meet Mosscap, the first robot seen by a human in many, many years. The two forge an unlikely bond on their search for crickets, a nearly extinct species on the moon, now called Panga. Chambers tackles themes involving the meaning of life and sentient robots, among others.
