Technology

Most of the city of Doramraz is driven by steam and clockwork. Although the government has started experimenting with something called "electricity", it is only available in the Zenith (see The Levels of Doramraz).

However, mechanisms like the Antikythera Mechanism and difference engines do exist and are being tinkered with by engineers, but they aren't of any interest to the common man and haven't been adapted for practical use yet. No one but their creators is interested in them.
