	Technology in the Known World is a practical gift of reason. It adds to a person's strength without replacing it, and that distinction is how the world thinks about machines. There is no fear of technology and no faction against it — only a settled, largely unexamined sense that machines belong in a particular place, and that a man who lets them out of it has made an error about himself.

Technology in the Known World is a practical gift of reason. It adds to a person's strength without replacing it, and that distinction is how the world thinks about machines. There is no fear of technology and no faction against it — only a settled, largely unexamined sense that machines belong in a particular place, and that a man who lets them out of it has made an error about himself.

== In the world ==
* [[Technology in Teraell]] — what machines are for, a thing made well, somebody answers for it, and what does not emerge
* [[The Ceiling]] — where the limits fall: boilers, powder, the rain, iron, and the man who did it anyway
* [[The House]] — the Four Lights, the Roelwym, water, cold, heat, and the machines that do work and the ones that do not
* [[Clockwork]] — springs, steam, and piles; the instruments; the two trades; Forgegate and everybody else
* [[Difference Engines]]
* [[Medicine]] — the best thing the Known World does: infection, the apothecaries, blood, surgery, the heart, looking inside, and what nobody can see
* [[Prosthetics]]
* [[Living Long]]

== Hidden truths ==
{{Hidden truth|Everything on the pages below is true and unknown. Nobody in the Known World knows any of it, and nothing in the world would lead them to it.}}
* [[The AI]] — what it is, and the facility, the satellites, and the beacons
* [[The Builders]]
* [[The Nanobots]]
* [[What Is Blocked and How]] — capacity caps and specific interference: the generator, the long wire, the primer, destructive chemistry, fission
* [[The Transfer]] — how the AI brings people through, whom it takes, and what crossing does to a body
* [[The Oelwy]]
* [[What the Old World Left Behind]] — why the living things are still here
