The Ophiuchi Hotline
John Varley
After the effortless
capture of Earth by vastly superior aliens, humanity is forced to fight
for existence on the Moon and other lumps of airless rock. The invention
of the Hotline -- a constant stream of data from a star in the
constellation Ophiuchus -- facilitates survival and enables the
development of amazing new technologies. Then, after 400 years,
humanity's unknown helpers send a bill for their services...and suddenly
everything is threatened once again.
