City

An underrated writer who is worthy or reassessment. Just about any work by Simak deserves to be considered a classic and City is no exception, it's a unique perspective on the race of man and a fantastic read. Being both a dog person and a fan of dystopian and apocalyptic literature, this is by far my favorite Simak story; a powerful and haunting examination of humanity's ultimate self-absorption. Haunting, thought-provoking, and hard to put down, this book underscores the importance of finding what is meaningful in life. This book is not only about what dogs have to teach us about friendship and loyalty, but about the capacity we have to learn from our own experience.
