In a future where humans are legend, their most loyal companions keep the stories alive.
Centuries after humankind abandoned Earth, the only ones left are intelligent, pacifist dogs—bestowed with speech and reason by the long-lost “websters.” Through tales passed down from generation to generation, they remember humanity as myth, warning, and wonder.
With the help of Jenkins, an ageless robot butler, the dogs live in peace—until new threats emerge from other dimensions… and from what may be the final, violent echoes of humankind itself.
Winner of the International Fantasy Award, City is a genre-defying masterpiece told in a series of linked stories that imagine a world both hauntingly empty and breathtakingly hopeful.
Clifford D. Simak’s classic is not just about the end of man—it’s about what rises from the silence he leaves behind.
