> Robert Heinlen used the idea in at least one place in "The Number of The Beast" A better example is Heinlein's classic "Magic Inc.", or "Operation Chaos" by Poul Anderson. > The theme figures quite strongly in Marion Zimmer Bradley's excellent > interpretation of the Arthurian legends, "The Mists of Avalon". I believe she I didn't notice any magical technology in "The Mists of Avalon". One important aspect of technology is that anyone can use it, without training. Not create it, of course, but use it. It also tends to be common and unremarkable to the people using it. The magic in Mists is much more like traditional magic. -- Peter da Silva (the mad Australian) UUCP: ...!shell!neuro1!{hyd-ptd,baylor,datafac}!peter MCI: PDASILVA; CIS: 70216,1076
