@Fireicee1 I thought it was more like 10,000 years, for what I can understand. I mean, with the rise and fall of so many civilizations make me think it has been MUCH longer than just 1,000...

"Metal fatigue," lmao! That's a good one, I almost completely forgot about it!

@Fireicee1 [Continuation]
The reason for the whole eating was that natural resources were becoming scarce and hard to find, so the towns ate each other for fuel and supplies. when a town ate another town, it basically had a team of people to dismantle it and take whatever is useful, and then whatever they can't use they leave. An adventurer/explorer/Indiana-Jo
nes type guy named Thaddeus Valentine comes to London. after that, crazy stuff happens. What, you ask? well read it and find out -
Correct. This about a thousand years or so after a war called the Sixty Minute War when the Ancients (us today) destroyed ourselves in a nuclear holocaust. Hundreds of years later, a man named Quirke develops a system called Municipal Darwinism, and rebuilds the city of London on wheels. The point of Municipal Darwinism is that a big city "eats" a smaller city, a smaller city "eats" a large town, a large town eats a town, a town a village, and so on. [to be continued]

I love the entire series but the first is still probably my favourite.
