At the edge of the Arctic, a tower rises toward the stars—and toward a god made of flesh and greed.
Simeon Krug has built an empire from his creations: androids engineered to serve humanity. Now he wants to reach beyond Earth, constructing a glass tower to contact a distant alien race. But as the structure climbs skyward, the world below begins to fracture.
Krug’s androids worship him as their creator even as they yearn for freedom, and his own son rebels against the legacy he refuses to inherit.
Robert Silverberg’s Tower of Glass is a haunting work of science fiction about power, faith, and the fragile line between human and machine in a world obsessed with progress.
