What books are required to wrap your head around the Rifts setting and lore? I've never played it, but I remember the ads with the robots that looked like something out of Terminator as a kid. It looked pretty cool and imaginative as settings go.

Honestly the core book explains things nicely. Many of the other books dive deeply into specific areas or focus on classes or tech.

Nothing wrong with starting with the Wikipedia article.

The core book (Rifts Ultimate Edition) is a good place to start. It works as a good primer; after that it depends on which world books and source books look interesting. But the RUE has a good mix of magic and technology, wizards and cyborgs and robots.
