The Galactic liblary and the hidden bill

[mvakkilainen]

The story revolves the idea that the earth has had contact
with a galactic counsil that has given the earth access to the galactic database of knowledge.
This database covers every aspect of advancement humanity could possible want and seemingly completely for free one just has to ask

Also the ammount of available knowlegde is so large that even if humanity wanted to just read the whole index the downloading and reading would take years.

The story main plot is that the earth will be billed for using this knowledge and now has to get out of paying the bill.

The story is more polical intreage and plotting that hardcore action.

Might be Ophiuchi Hotline by John Varley. Earth has been taken over by very advanced aliens from gas giant planets and is pretty much off limits. Humanity now lives on many other moons/planets in the solar system all the way out to Pluto. Pluto receives signals that appear they are coming from Ophiuchi. These signals are mined for data that help humanity survive. Then at the end the of the book payment is due.
