Do read them. I read the trilogy for the first time many years ago, and found they held up to my second reading this year. The first book, Souls in the Great Machine, is almost startling in tis originality. It's a very different post-apocalyptic novel depicting a society where "Dragon Librarians" hold the real power because the library, Libris, has maintained the knowledge of the past, but where disputes are settle by duels. Steam and electrical power are forbidden and Libris, has established a computer, the Calculor, that operates with human component. Through this all a mysterious "Call" periodically turns everyone into a mindless wanderer. In my opinion, the second and third books, which expand the world from Australia to North America and provide more of a back story, are not quite as good but I was intrigued by the characters and carried along nicely.
