Bonjour Sean, a book I liked very much was "Demain les chiens" which in its original version is called "City". The author Clifford D. Simak takes you to a future world where robots, dogs and humans communicate their hopes and fears for a better world in a city where no one seems to care. No doubt I am a fan of this author and read the book three times, delecting myself with all this immagination. In the french version, there is 311 pages.
