Centuries ago, Panga's robots developed consciousness, put down their tools, and disappeared into the forest, never to be seen again. They vanished into mythology and folklore.
Now, a robot arrives to fulfil the old promise of checking in, upending the life of the tea monk who is telling this narrative. Until the question "what do people need?" is addressed, the robot is unable to turn around. But who you ask and how you ask them will determine the answer to that. They must enquire about it often. In his series, Chambers poses the question, Does More Matter in a World Where Everyone Gets What They Want?
