  • $\begingroup$ @GameAlchemist Well, yeah. But it's about building fictional worlds, right? It's fiction. Anything could follow! A lolcat could be the current master of a fictional world without the characters in that world knowing it, maybe only the readers/players would! :P $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 30, 2015 at 21:58

    $\begingroup$ The intent of this post (-unless i misunderstood-) is not to think about a fictional world where 1+1=421.23, but rather to speculate on hypothetical primitive peoples's reaction to technology. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 30, 2015 at 22:15
