The Postman, by David Brin
A must read Sci-Fi & Fantasy book for postal geeks and UPU members
“The Postman will keep you engrossed until you’ve finished the last page.”
—Chicago TribuneWhy You Should Read It
Logistics is boring, and postal mail is even boringer.
So when Hugo and Nebula Award winning author David Brin writes a post-apocalyptic sci-fi and fantasy in which the postal service plays a prominent role in the story, everyone in the mail industry should take the opportunity to venture away from their Universal Service Obligation and become a geek for 300 pages.
Description
He was a survivor—a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war.
Fate touches him one chill winter’s day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold.
The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.
This is the story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth.
A timeless novel as urgently compelling as War Day or Alas, Babylon, David Brin’s The Postman is the dramatically moving saga of a man who rekindled the spirit of America through the power of a dream, from a modern master of science fiction.
Can I Just Catch The Movie?
No, just no.
