Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

City. First edition, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Georgia, with my best wishes, Cliff Simak". This influential work won the 1953 International Fantasy Award. "At a time when science-fiction writers generally celebrated technology, City's bleak vision of its dangers was a striking innovation, and the novel greatly influenced the medium... It comprises eight loosely connected tales spanning 10,000 years of the Webster family, tracing the history of mankind from the supercity of the near future to an idyllic nontechnological society on Jupiter occupied by the remnant of humanity following the collapse of urban society" (ANB).
