Re: [Worldbuilding] Divergent, retro and other 'not of this world' Computers and Soft
How about a TL4 computer which is an entire building, full of clerks and mathematicians. This in turn is linked via a semaphore network to other cities, and their computational centres.
Read it in an obscure Australian Sci Fi book. Peddle powered trains, librarians dueling with matchlock pistols, AND a scaled up 'computer'.
