If the anachronism is intentional, OK, but a little backstory would help.In my understanding, this anachronism is one of the main themes here. We live in modern times, we have TV and weather forecasts, but people didn't change, and their minds are still medieval.
I think this is a very cleaver way to talk about it. It's a good metaphor.
People don't usually stop at drawing pitchforks and torches though. They start burning suspected witches at stake... and then a Great Leader emerges who promises protection against demons in the clouds...
