Jenkins was a robot. He was built to be the perfect worker, tireless and
uncomplaining. But, quite unexpectedly, he also became a close companion
to generation after generation of his owners as the human race matured,
moved beyond the confines of its once tiny planet, and eventually
changed beyond all recognition. And then, because he was a good and
dutiful servant, Jenkins went on to serve Earth's inheritors.
Here is a masterful tale of an Earth overrun by ants, a series of
parallel worlds ruled by dogs, and a Jupiter where the human race finds
its Gold Age - if "human" it could still be called.
