Summary
Giant,
technologically superior aliens have conquered Earth, but
humankind survives - even flourishes in a way. Men and women
live like mice in burrows in the massive walls of the huge
homes of the aliens, scurrying about under their feet,
stealing from them. A complex social and religious order has
evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as
healers, and men serving as warriors and thieves. For the
aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, neither civilized
nor intelligent, and certainly not a worthy adversary. In
fact, they are regarded as vermin, to be exterminated. Which,
ironically, may just be humankind's strength and point the
way forward.
