After touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) and Mosscap (a robot sent on a quest to determine what humanity really needs) turn their attention to the villages and cities of the little moon they call home.

They hope to find the answers they seek while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe.

La poètica dialèctica

Recomanat si: tens ganes de sentir una abraçada literària, filosòfica i tendra.

Em va encantar aquest llibre i el seu predecessor. El que més em va agradar, sens dubte, va ser la filosofia i la utopia que planteja. Com és possible que, en una societat on sembla que els mals del capitalisme han sigut erradicats, encara pot quedar dolor i incomprensió davant de l'existència. M'encanta la parella que fan li Monji i en Robot, com es complementen en la seva cerca conjunta: el sentit de l'existència.

yes and more

i liked how the storytelling shifted and adapted with the story change that we have between the two groups. the discovery of the different human settlements and their societies is fascinating, thought-provoking and poetic all at once. i loved the ending, even if i had to read it multiple times to be sure. i will miss Dex and Mosscap. :(((

Quick, gentle, sensorially rich read
