Plot summary
A solar flare has stripped away the ozone layer, and the surface is now scorched by ultraviolet radiation and extreme weather. Finch Weinberg, a robotics engineer, shares an underground laboratory beneath St. Louis with Goodyear, his dog, and Dewey, a helper robot. He goes outside only in a protective suit to search for supplies. Sick with an unnamed illness, Finch builds a more advanced humanoid companion and loads it with encyclopedic knowledge, along with a guide to dog training and care, so that it can take care of Goodyear once he is gone. Goodyear does not trust the new machine, which chooses the name Jeff. When a storm expected to last forty days approaches St. Louis, the four of them leave in a motorhome bound for San Francisco.
