This feelgood solarpunk novella centres on Dex, a tea monk who grows restless of peaceful nomadic life and ventures into the untrodden wilderness. Here Dex meets Mosscap, a robot designed to harvest information about what humans truly need. In the duo’s philosophical discussions about humanity, purpose and identity, Mosscap gains insight into human emotion and complexity, while Dex realizes that “it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it…It’s what animals do.” A curious, playful tale told with engaging verve.
