Dystopia. The connected stories are about the city of Chicago over huge reaches of time into the future. The city becomes more and more automated and the inhabitants less and less necessary until the city becomes an automatic self-repairing system with no inhabitants. Outside the city humanity has regressed to a primitive level.
