@eldadoinquieto @FredKiesche @nyrath @sudnadja@dice.camp Joan Vinge did something like this in her "Heaven Chronicles", where one group has lost the ability to replace its electronic computing technology and deals with that by drafting people to act as human computers for numerical orbit calculations (I do not know if Vinge was inspired by real human computers in real space programs or not).
