City, by Clifford Simak

[Omphalos]

In my informal surveys I found that while most everyone liked both books, Way Station was the favorite. Personally I liked City much more. That whole screwy Talisman thing in Way Station threw me off. Though Way Station is probably technically superior (City suffers a bit from the fix-up effect).

The first book I ever read by Cliff Simak. For reason when read this one, in my head, I could hear the song Somewhere sang by Barbara Streisand for reason that music and song fits this book .

As for a film adaption , I can see it being done by someone like Hayao Miyazaki.
