This book uses a lot of symbols. The government used mechanical hounds to search for and take down fugitives. As a society they largely ignore nature and favor technology. I find it ironic that they name their creations after creatures they do not even like. The phoenix is another symbol in the book. The bird burns itself when it dies and is reborn from the ashes. one of the characters from the book compares the phoenix to mankind after the nuclear strikes that destroy the city. They plan on going out and helping the survivors then rebuilding a better society.
