David Brin's response to the over-idealization of a post apocalyptic world - the story of an actor accidentally restarting the postal service while trying to survive in the Pacific Northwest
Wherein we chat about our new book - The Postman by David Brin, the movie, principally by Kevin Costner, and we also talk about: which government functions we might restart after the apocalypse, Other Chris' ad algorithm, what kind of vibes we can expect from the book, the movie completely bombing, and the absolutely stacked film year that was 1997.
Wherein we talk about the first half of The Postman by David Brin and we also talk about: Patreon rewards (that no one wants), Predictions of the Future from the Past, reactions to the book, Deceased postmen as ultimate wingmen, Gordon constantly rolling for deception checks, Vague advice from powerful computers, and what might happen next.
Wherein we talk about the second half of The Postman and we also talk about: Olympic foley artists, if theSociety of Cincinnatus was a real thing, emperor naming conventions, women in STEM roles, conmen and the Big Lie, and what to do with super soldiers after the war.
