SimakThe backwoods of Wisconsin may not seem like the likeliest place for humanity's future in the stars to be decided, but only outside of a Clifford D. Simak story. Wisconsin was his preferred setting, particularly the woodsy Wisconsin of his youth. With his novel Way Station, he parlayed this nostalgic affection into the 1964 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Riassunti StellariIl Papa Definitivo - Clifford SimakIn Il Papa Definitivo, Simak porta i lettori sul bizzarro pianeta Vaticano-17, dove robot incredibilmente sofisticati, con ambizioni da teologi, cercano di costruire niente meno che un papa elettronico infallibile.

I hvert fald hvis man skal tro Clifford D. Simak i den klassiske novelle-samling “City” fra 1952. City er en novellesamling der er blevet samlet og udgivet som en ‘fix-up’ roman. Der var oprindeligt 8 noveller, der blev udgivet mellem 44 og 51, incl. nogle “noter”, små ramme-historier, der hører til.
Bogen foregår i en golden age scifi version af post-scarcity, hvor atomkraft og robotter har overflødiggjort hårdt arbejde og efterladt menneskeheden til at holde sig selv i gang.
