Robert Silverburg's
Majipoor
The world itself is an odd blend of
hidden technology and magic, where machines create the air
necessary to live in the government sector and carts float on beds of
air. Even space travel is not unknown, although Majipoor is an
interplanetary backwater. Magicians thrive on the planet, and the
main disciplinary and advisory tools are dreams, controlled by the
King of Sleep and the Lady of Dreams. The story itself is not as
interested in technology as it is in fair government, which is
a difficult enough propostion for a story that begins with the bodysnatching
of the rightful heir to the adoptive monarchy of the fifty families.
