As humans fade away, Earth is left to other beings, including the intelligent dogs who have been uplifted by humanity's technology, and robots who continue to serve long after their masters are gone. Each tale in "City" explores different facets of this evolution, ranging from the philosophical implications of a sedentary lifestyle to the ethical considerations of genetic engineering. The narrative spans thousands of years, showcasing Simak's deep reflections on society, technology, and the environment. The overarching theme of the novel is a meditation on the possibility of utopia and the perpetual quest for a better world, articulated through the mythologized memories of its canine inheritors. ; 19 x 13 x 1.6 cms; 248 pages.
