Aleksander listened with great interest. It made sense when he thought about - Gideon's world was clearly far more technologically advanced than Ravka and if there were easier ways to obtain raw materials and turn them into goods then the farther way one would be from the process. He'd seen it on a smaller scale as Ravka was turning from an agricultural society to a more industrialized one.
All the same, there was much about the technology of the Mansion that was new to him. "I come at this from a different end. I was familiar with electricity as a concept and some of the Durasts were doing experiments but we had not gotten so far as the cold boxes in the kitchens and lights everywhere. It's been an adjustment - not an unwelcome one, but an adjustment nonetheless."
