  • "In the far future, the cities of the world are deserted and automation has invaded every aspect of life. The robots make spaceships, the ants create huge buildings on the remains of old towns and the dogs take over the earth. The canines discuss how they owe their ascendance to an extinct and perhaps mythical species of benevolent, if misguided, humans. A bleak, melancholy portrayal of humanity's prospects for survival, "City" is unusual not only for its dystopian vision but also for its often pastoral storytelling. -- D. Cloyce Smith, et al. at Amazon.com."

  • "Dans un futur lointain, les chiens succéderont aux hommes. Un jour, leur civilisation s'éteindra elle aussi. Mais avant, ils se raconteront de vieux contes où il est question des hommes, ces êtres mythiques depuis longtemps disparus.--[Memento]."
  • ""On a far future Earth, mankind's achievements are immense: artificially intelligent robots, genetically uplifted animals, interplanetary travel, genetic modification of the human form itself. But nothing comes without a cost. Humanity is tired, its vigour all but gone. Society is breaking down into smaller communities, dispersing into the countryside and abandoning the great cities of the world. As the human race dwindles and declines, which of its great creations will inherit the Earth? And which will claim the stars ...?"--Back cover."
  • "Intelligent canines in a far-future city preserve the legends and lore of their absent human masters Thousands of years have passed since humankind abandoned the city-first for the countryside, then for the stars, and ultimately for oblivion-leaving their most loyal animal companions alone on Earth. Granted the power of speech centuries earlier by the revered Bruce Webster, the intelligent, pacifist dogs are the last keepers of human history, raising their pups with bedtime stories, passed down through generations, of the lost "websters" who gave them so much but will never return. With the ai."@en
  • "Qu'est-ce que l'homme ? Qu'est-ce qu'une cité ? Qu'est-ce que la guerre ? Voila les questions que se posent les chiens, le soir à la veillée, après avoir écouté des contes fascinants mettant en scène ces mots magiques mais devenus incompréhensibles. L'homme fut-il réellement le compagnon du chien avant que celui-ci accède à l'intelligence ?"
