> I really liked Glorantha being a world with just "bronze age technology"
(whatever that really means), it was one of those things that made
Glorantha
stand out from the crowd (not yet another quasi-medieaval world), but it is
hard
to hold on to.
Hiero of Alexander described a steam-engine, but only as a toy. Leonardo
Can anyone recommend an accessible history of technology?
(da Vinci, that is) drew diagrams of tanks and helicopters. That doesn't
mean any of these had any effect on the life of people of the time.
