[QUOTE="Sidran, post: 418044, member: 6160"] Perhaps my favorite two books that show "magic" in a technological world are Daybreak 2250 AD, by Andre Norton, and The Eternity Road, By Jack McDevitts both are after the world has burned itself to an end. Neat features in Daybreak were the adventures through a Ruined New york and the adventuring around the city, Not to mention the Monsters were creapy. Eternity Road is a typical fantasy quest, the Characters are searching for a lost repository of ancient goods, books, and other lore ( in the case of the Eternity Road a repository of the Literary classics such as Twain, Poe, Churchill, and the like) Notable scenes take place on a ruined bridge, near a Skytram system that still runs ( makes the Characters think oh great dragons or evil beings) And a intelligent computer wishing to be shut down due to to much time alone. =Notable tech was the hot air bloon, the Steam Engine, and The Telegraph, oh also the Printing press. Notable traps in the book where gas pockets in old sealed rooms coming against torches (flashback fires) and moving electronics Both had a hgh level of magical quality to them as in psionics, or Scholarly sciences [/QUOTE]
