Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers

Recommended by Elena

Two short stories which together tell of a human rethinking their purpose and what brings them fulfillment, and a wild robot learning about humans needs.

Even with such thoughtful subject matter, the book stays refreshingly grounded and light and leaves you feeling buoyed. A hopeful and illuminating balm for the sensitive soul that paints a beautiful picture of what life could be like if we opt to take real care of the living world around us.

Monk and Robot Series

Lillie

“Two novellas that together form a perfectly gentle, warm hug of a series.”

Kari

“Is Utopian fiction a thing? If yes, this is it. The warmest warm hug of a book for when you can’t handle anything else. Again, Chambers is all about relishing time spent with her characters.”
