Surface trivia: Devices and Desires is a novel by KJ Parker about an engineer from a colony of a Renaissance-ish civilisation who's escaped into a medieval-ish kingdom on a continent that's about to get very, very screwed up. Good and dark.

After a quick search I found that before that, it's also the title of a PD James detective novel.
