MODERATORS
This is essentially the backstory of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Warhammer 40k has proceeded so far into the future and so much knowledge has been lost that mechanical gadgets like dams require priests anointing them with oil and burning incense to use them.
Dying Earth is loosely similar. There’s both tech and magic.
The Saga of Recluce builds the tech and integrates it with magic.
The Book of the New Sun takes the same tack as W40k (albeit written earlier) with far future shit relying on old tech without knowledge.
The Broken Earth trilogy has a mix of far future and magic. It’s my one of my favorites.
