A Psalm for the Wild-Built

This was a wonderful novella by the author of the Wayfarers series, the first of which is The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. I loved that and the other three novels in that series. I was a little hesitant about this one; I'm not sure why. I think because I thought she couldn't top the Wayfarers. But she at least equaled it with this book. It's about life after the Factory Age, when the Robots became aware and left. Humans recreated their industry without them, and focused on sustainable technology after returning from the brink of self-destruction. The book is so heartwarming and life-affirming that I had a warm glow about me all the way to the end. I'm hoping the second book in this series is equally wonderful. The series was nominated for a 2024 Mythopoeic Award.
