A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a lovely, cozy, optimistic cli-fi story that made me cry from feeling seen. Sibling Dex—a non-binary tea monk, very talented at helping people process through tea and time—is having a quarter-life crisis. They enjoy what they do but can’t help but feel like something’s missing—a purpose? In walks Mosscap, a robot with a fauna affinity, built from the parts of others, whose quest is to answer the question, What do people need? These two cuties go on a journey together, searching for meaning in the divine. A soft, beautiful parable that you’ll want to reread.
