I\\\'m not entirely clear about \\\'\\\'The Half-Blood Prince\\\'\\\' entry saying the review complains that \\\"the book \\\'makes no mention of things such as computers or [=TVs=]\\\' (of course it doesn\\\'t, for the same reason that \\\'\\\'The Lord of the Rings\\\'\\\' doesn\\\'t).\\\" LOTR doesn\\\'t mention such things because it\\\'s set in a secondary world/distant past where such things didn\\\'t exist (and also because it was written in the forties, when even science fiction didn\\\'t really believe in computers). \\\'\\\'Half-Blood Prince\\\'\\\' is set in a LikeRealityUnlessNoted world in the nineties. It makes sense that computers and TV aren\\\'t mentioned because the wizarding world avoids muggle technology, but that\\\'s not the same reason they aren\\\'t mentioned in LOTR.
