After the Animal Flesh Beings

Centuries after humanity's extinction, a civilization of synthetic beings left behind on a ruined Earth has built its entire culture from myth, superstition, and fragments of the humans who made them. Told through five linked, fable-like stories by a synthetic narrator, this slim collection follows these post-human beings as they try to make sense of a god-crafted concept they call "children," and confront what meaning, if any, is left in a world after all life has ended.
