This is a steampunk book. People have lost technology in the 60 minute war and now only have steam technology and are constantly trying to find old tech. The main problem is the Earth running out of resources and it’s a city eat city world and London needs to feed. After finding enough old tech to reproduce a weapon from the 60 minute war, they decide to attack the defence wall of the anti tractionists, who have trees and minerals and coal to dig up and use as fuel and to upgrade the city.
