This title was one of the recommended reads of 2021 books from librarians of the Brooklyn Public Library. I loved this sci-fi. For once it was a pleasure to read of a future that wasn’t war-torn or filled with conflict. A Psalm For The Wild Built by Becky Chambers portrays humans in a good, peaceful setting, actually getting along with one another and their environment, which is what it means to be truly civilized and humane. This sci-fi sub-genre is called solarpunk because it’s environmentally-focused and optimistic, touching on technology’s impact on society. Again, it was a refreshing pleasure to read.
