[It'll be a mixed bag, when Blake gets around to reading them - most of them full of unfamiliar references, with plenty of talk about Corporations, or remote planets and science fiction-like spaceships, or descriptions of planets and polities that read like they're playing around with veiled stereotypes - though there are others that play with it from the opposite perspective, where the Corporations are a terrible place that needs to be escaped from.
The romance is rather eclectic, the kind of collection amassed by someone who definitely doesn't have any kind of preferences around the hows or whats of the genre.
In the meantime, it has to puzzle over how to answer that question, because how do you measure relative tech, anyway? It shifts, slightly, under the staring - but the helmet helps.]
Relative to the technology here, most planets are. This looks like pre-CR historical tech. It's at least a hundred years out of date. I guess you could find something like it on some really old colony worlds, if they've survived being cut off.
