Recommended read

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers: Centuries after robots gained self-awareness and vanished, a tea monk's life is disrupted by a robot fulfilling an old promise to check in. The robot must find out what people need before returning.

Why Britt recommends it: A Psalm for the Wild-Built is an interesting mix of science and apocalyptic fiction. Sometimes apocalyptic fiction can be intense and heavy, but this first book in the Monk & Robot series is much more calm and reflective in nature. It's a relatively short read that flowed well-- what better way to kick off your 2025 Goodreads goal?!

There's great world-building in this book, and the characters are well-developed, which helps readers really reflect on the central question-- if we have everything we need or want, what else could we possibly need?

This would be a good choice for those who enjoyed the kids' series The Wild Robot, or TJ Klune's the Lives of Puppets.
