The Last Castle by Jack Vance
Requirements: mobi reader, 176KB
Overview: "The Last Castle": ..delicate artistry around castles and turrets, filling them with the strong personalities of a super-cultured culture, their irascible Birds and gauze insect-girl Phanes, all threatened by an invasion force of uni-cognitive Meks and crumbling ideology.
Most humans on Earth live in a small number of elaborate, high-tech castles as idle aristocrats primarily concerned with aesthetics, pastimes and questions of honor and etiquette. Only a small minority of humans live free lives outside of the castles, and are considered barbaric by the inhabitants of the castles. Various alien races serve the humans for maintenance as well as pleasure.
One day one of those races, the Meks, revolt and start destroying the castles until only Castle Hagedorn is left. Most of the nobles try to ignore the revolt of the Meks, preferring to die instead of fighting. One of them, Xanten of Hagedorn castle, decides to fight the Meks and searches for allies inside as well as outside the castle.
