Voilà des siècles, les robots de Panga ont accédé à la conscience et lâché leurs outils ; voilà des siècles, ils sont partis ensemble dans la forêt, et nul ne les a jamais revus ; voilà des siècles qu’ils se sont fondus dans les mythes de l’humanité.Un jour, la vie de Dex, moine de thé, est bouleversée par l’arrivée d’un robot qui, fidèle à une très vieille promesse, vient prendre des nouvelles. Il a une question à poser, et ne rejoindra les siens qu’une fois satisfait de la réponse. La question : « De quoi les gens ont-ils besoin ? »Mais la réponse dépend de la personne à qui on parle et de comment on pose la question.

« La vision optimiste d’un monde fertile …

Feels like a warm embrace

5 stars

This novella felt like a warm embrace. It's cozy, cute and light. A traveling tea monk exploring the world coming in contact with a conscious robot. Robots were long forgotten by humanity, having fled to the wilderness to live their own lives. I loved the discussions about life purpose and consciousness. It made me want to continue reading the next one.

A hopeful vision of the future

5 stars

It's easy to find dystopian science fiction. It's harder to find science fiction that provides a positive image of the future. It's not a blueprint, but you get the sense of a robust society that has overcome its most self-destructive tendencies. Very on-brand (in a good way!) for the author; if you've enjoyed her other books you will enjoy this one as well.

5 stars

Becky Chamber's works are rare among science fiction stories because instead of action-adventure plots they're about people talking about what it means to be alive.

The first couple of chapters felt like the plot was jumping around a hell of a lot, because they're really just backstory/preamble for the actual story

It's good that there will be a sequel because I do want to know what both Mosscap and Dex will do next
