Everybody needed a cup of tea sometimes. Just an hour or two to sit and do something nice, and then they could get back to whatever it was. This book opens with a dedication to anyone who could do with a break. Dang, does this book deliver. The result is a true balm for the soul, as comforting and wholesome as any of the personalized tea blends conjured and served with love by Dex, a tea monk at the centre of this story. At the heart of the book are these questions: What do humans really want? What does a meaningful life look like? And what about meaningful work? In this heartwarming story, we enter a utopian future years after the end of the Factory Age, when robots put down their tools and gave up their roles as human servants to disappear into the untouched wilderness. As well as anyone who wants a break, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is the perfect book for anyone feeling lost , directionless, or in need of a big change in life.

Dex's goal is to meet villagers and townsfolk and custom-blend tea to fit the people's needs and personalities. In addition to being an act of service, Dex also uses tea serving as an "ice-breaker" to enable people to confide their misgivings and concerns to them.
