Synopsis
Nebula and Sturgeon Award nominated novelette.
...No one knows what they really look like. They only interact with us through their remote-controlled robots. Maybe they're made of glass themselves - they give us pregnancy kits, but won't bother with burn dressings. Dad says the glassmen are alien scientists studying our behavior, like a human would smash an anthill to see how they scatter. Reverand Beale always points to the pipeline a hundred miles west of us. They're just men stealing our resources, he says, like the white man stole the Africans', though even he can't say what those resources might be....
