In Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series there are numerous cultural differences between the Terrans (highly technological) and the Darkovans (low-tech and, at first sight, "backward" -- but possessing highly advanced use of psychic powers), even though both are human. Some differences are seriously disruptive, such as disagreements based on sexual jealousy when a Terran encounters the relaxed mores of a Tower circle in THE BLOODY SUN, and some arise from subtle points such as a woman from Earth wanting a hot shower in the morning but finding that the hot water isn't turned on because Darkovans prefer a "refreshing" cold shower when they wake up.Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-25670417188617233792009-09-07T08:56:18.249-04:002009-09-07T08:56:18.249-04:00I agree and this is one of my favorite things to p...I agree and this is one of my favorite things to play with as a writer.Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.com
