Mortal Engines

In this post-apocalyptic world, people live is giant, mobile cities that travel around the earth looking to consume smaller mobile cities and utilize their resources for fuel and technology. This world came about after a global war where a quantum weapon was used to basically destroy all civilization and reshape the geographical map on earth. Of course, an ambitious leader on one of these mobile cities has made it a life mission to collect enough tech to recreate said quantum weapon, and of course a young rebel is the only one who can stop him. In so many ways, this is a completely derivative young adult dystopian future story. So, knowing that background, it is actually a bit of fun. The imagery of the world, the function of the cities, the steampunk tech... it all works together.
