Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
It is the year 2218. Simeon Krug, industrial potentate, is driven by an obsession: to build a colossal tower that will reach out to answer signals from deep space. The androids are his tools – perfect synthetic creations, the ideal workforce for their superhuman task. Krug spurs them on with feverish excitement, blindly unaware of the impending crisis. For the androids have made him their God and believe that through his intercession they will be lifted to the level of flesh-and-blood mankind. But Krug is not God, and when the androids learn the brutal truth, an orgy of destruction is unleashed which threatens far more than Krug's tower of glass.
'In TOWER OF GLASS Silverberg surpasses himself. This is a multi-levelled work of high adventure, considerable tension and . . . social consciousness' |
