SUMMARY:City - Clifford D. Simak
DESCRIPTION:Due to our usual second monthly meeting falling on Dec 26th\, w
 e will instead have one large meeting and split into two groups of equal s
 ize\, Humans and Clones.\n\nFar in the future Dogs & Robots have a shared 
 mythology of a creature called Man that strode the Earth before Dogs and R
 obot evolved. But was Man real or is he simply a mythic creation used to s
 care pups at bed kennel-time? City is considered Simak's seminal work and 
 is eight short stories or myths of Dogkind with critical interpretation be
 tween each\, to help readers make up their own minds on 'Man'.\n\nCity is 
 set on a far future Earth where mankind's achievements are immense: artifi
 cially intelligence\, genetically uplifted animals\, interplanetary travel
 \, genetic modification of the human form itself. But nothing comes withou
 t a cost. Humanity is tired\, its vigour all but gone. Society is breaking
  down into smaller communities\, dispersing into the countryside and aband
 oning the great cities of the world. As the human race dwindles and declin
 es\, which of its great creations will inherit the Earth? And which will c
 laim the stars . . . ?\n\n\n\n
