Бекки Чамберс – лучшие книги

Добро пожаловать на борт "Странника"! Розмари Харпер не ждала чего-то особенного, присоединяясь к экипажу старенького "Странника". Конечно, это уже не раз починенное судно видало лучшие деньки, зато тут тебе и кровать, и шанс исследовать далекие-далекие галактики, и — самое главное — правильное расстояние от прошлого. Правда, Розмари никогда еще не встречала настолько разношерстную компанию, как экипаж "Странника", состоящий из пилота-рептилоида Сиссикса и болтливых инженеров Киззи и Дженкса во главе с благородным капитаном Эшби… А жизнь на борту корабля оказалась просто сумасшедшей! Особенно когда экипаж взялся за эту прибыльную (и…

In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Hugo Award-winner Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk & Robot series gives us hope for the future. It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of what do people need? is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and…

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. Becky Chambers's new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?

At the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in subzero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to journey to neighboring exoplanets long known to harbor life. A team of these explorers, Ariadne O’Neill and her three crewmates, are…

Laureatka nagrody Hugo, Becky Chambers, daje nam nadzieję na lepszą przyszłość w swojej nowej, zachwycającej serii Mnich i robot.

Wieki temu roboty z Pangi zyskały samoświadomość i porzuciły swoje narzędzia.
Wieki temu masowo powędrowały do dziczy i słuch po nich zaginął.
Wieki temu przeniosły się do świata mitów i legend miejskich.

Aż pewnego dnia jeden z robotów staje na drodze herbacianego mnicha, by wypełnić dawne posłannictwo. Ma tylko jedno pytanie: "Czego potrzebują ludzie?".

Odpowiedź zależy jednak od tego, kogo zapytać i jak.

A mnich i robot będą musieli pytać – i to często.

В умирающей планетной системе царит кризис. Солнце постепенно гаснет, планеты Внешнего Кольца становятся непригодны для жизни, и космос полнится беженцами, которые надеются найти пристанище в чужой земле.
Наемница Асала Сику сама родом с такой планеты и привыкла заботиться только о себе. Но миссия по спасению корабля беженцев «Вела» оборачивается тем, что теперь Асале придется — ни много ни мало — решать, кто заслуживает выжить в гибнущем мире, где различить добро и зло не так просто.
