This award-winning technology fiction common explores a far-future world inhabited by sensible canines who complete down the tales of their human forefathers.
Thousands of years have passed since humankind forgotten the city—first for the countryside, then for the superstars, and eventually for oblivion—departing their most dedicated animal companions together on Earth. Awarded the energy of speech decades previously by the revered Bruce Webster, the sensible, pacifist dogs are the previous keepers of history, increasing their pups with bedtime reports, passed on through generations, of the lost “websters” who provided them very much but will never return. Using Jenkins, an ageless service automatic robot, the dogs reside in an environment of harmony and tranquility. But they now face serious risks from other own and other proportions, perhaps the most dangerous of all being the reawakened remnants of any warlike competition called “Man.”
In the Golden Time of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, Clifford D. Simak’s writing blazed as brightly as anyone’s in the technology fiction firmament. Champion of the International Illusion Honor, City is an impressive literary metropolis filled with an astonishing array of interlinked reports and buildings—simultaneously dystopian, transcendent, compassionate, and visionary.
