* ''Literature/TheInvertedWorld'': ''Literature/TheInvertedWorld'' by Creator/ChristopherPriestNovelist. The City city of Earth is laboriously dragged forward in constant motion (but so slowly that most of its inhabitants aren't even aware it moves) on rails through which are built ahead of the distorted landscape outside to keep city and torn up with for reuse behind. As a result distance is used a measurement of time, hence the translat optimum. People's ages are even measured in miles...famous opening line: "I had reached the age of six hundred and fifty miles." The reason for its motion is an important part of the plot.
