The title "Mortal Engines" comes from William Shakespeare's "Othello" (Act 3, Scene 3: "O you mortal engines, whose rude throats The immortal Jove's dead clamours counterfeit, farewell!").It refers to the concept of Municipal Darwinism (turning cities into moving creatures that consume each other) being flawed, because the cities' engines are mortal and will eventually run down, and all the resources gone into keeping them going will have been used up for nothing.
