My favorite series of all time is the Mortal Engines Quartet. It's about a civilization far in the future where humans had destroyed each other in a massive nuclear war, called the Sixty Minute War (guess how long it lasted :D). The survivors struggled to recreate society, and instead created a fierce and harsh way of life, where giant traction cities rumble around on huge tracks and devour each other in order to survive. Those books are why Steamlands is my favorite game - the concept is so similar to the gameplay!
