The guidance in the past never was just books, it was always to be coupled with Prophets. When God put an end to revelations, he did so, so he can unite people on those who hold the Authority (4:59).
There is no way to account for every dynamic possibility that a society can structure itself in, so some laws are meant for all times, and some are dynamic ways that were meant for a certain situation and context.
That is why there are hadiths that say hadiths are abrogated by other hadiths just as Quran verses are sometimes abrogated by other verses.
Messengers all came with their own path and code of law, why is that?
This was true even if when they came in quick succession, why is that?
Some aspects of the application light are static, they don't change, no matter what situation.
Other aspects depend on the situation.
The thing is without a leader to guide us and show us the truth in God's book, we are going to make the book into a mess and yes remain backwards.
We need Baqiyatallah (may God hasten his relief), we need the 12th Successor, the Mahdi.
All you need is a few friends, note pads, and several dice and you got a game of Dungeons and Dragons.
