Simak had a special fondness for robots. Not only did these thinking machines represent the boundless possibilities of technology, they also had the potential to bring--in his words--\"the kindness and the courage that I thought were needed in the world.\" The stories in this volume offer a variety of Simak's unique robot visions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \"Lulu,\" a robot built for planetary exploration takes on a female identity, causing unforeseen challenges for her three-man crew. An examination of an unknown planet reveals the celestial body to be a single, gigantic computer whose origins and purpose are a mystery, in \"Limiting Factor.\" And in the title story, Simak returns to his longest-running robot character, Jenkins, who reflects on all that has come and gone one last time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEach story includes an introduction by David W.
