The android creations of a billionaire tech entrepreneur seek equality in this far-future adventure from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author. A Grand Master of Science Fiction "High adventure, considerable tension, and—most important—social consciousness." —Harlan Ellison Simeon Krug is the king of the universe. A self-made man, he is the Bill Gates of the era, having built a mega-commercial empire on the backs of his products: androids, genetically engineered human slaves. Having amassed incredible wealth, his next major goal is to communicate with aliens living in an uninhabitable world, sending a mysterious signal. This requires building a mile high tower in the arctic tundra. The androids want civil equality with humans, but are divided on the best means to the goal—political agitation or religious devotion to Krug, their creator. And Krug's son, Manuel, is reluctant to step into his role as heir to his father's empire.
