In honour of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, what are the best dieselpunk and/or post-apocalyptic books?
We've been truly blessed to have such a strong prequel to one of the greatest post-apocalyptic action films of all time, Mad Max: Fury Road. With that in mind, what are some books that evoke similar vibes in their worldbuilding as the petrol-stained Australian wasteland of Mad Max?
Mad Max DNA:
##
- Post-apocalyptic, underpopulated world
- Scavenger industry, resource scarcity
- Ostentatious displays of personality—camp humour
- Warring factions
- Heart—rare but impactful displays of humanity in the midst of a depraved society
