But I guess that's better than where Start Trek Discovery went, where anything magic is just advanced tech.
I've been reading some Asimov Robot stories, and it's interesting how he can absolutely nail some of the modern moral issues around AI, but never really imagined computers not needing punch cards, or that media would just be available to everyone, not restricted to data tapes lent from the library, and having time allotments on view screens hundreds of years in the future.

That's where the "In a galaxy far far away" comes in handy, their tech just evolved much differently than ours. Fallout is much the same, super advanced laser weapons and robots, but every computer looks like an Apple II
