What books would be good inspiration for a Morrow Project game?

[Jeff9650]

I'm sure there's a list on here for this, but if not ... what books would be good to read to inspire someone to come up with good adventure or campaigns? I don't mean end of the world stuff, but rebuilding and rediscovering lost tech. I know of the Postman already, but I'm sure there are better books out there that is not so dark or so 'life is over time to check out' vibes to it.

Thanks in advance.
