Reading page 50 surprised me. The robot’s first words to Dex were, “What do you need, and how may I help?” This stood out because the robots left society to stop serving humans. The author uses this moment to show that Mosscap is different from the other robots. It hints that Mosscap is curious about humans in a unique way. I predict this will change how Dex and Mosscap see each other and their purpose.

In the opening of A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Dex uses they/them pronouns, which makes their identity feel open and not limited to male or female roles. Becky Chambers likely chose this to reflect the book’s theme of questioning labels and expectations. If Dex meets a robot, it is likely the robot will gain a fuller human perspective, not just from men or women, but from both worlds combined.
