![]() ![]() Spending his life just getting by, travelling an America that has found itself 16 years deep in a mired and believable dystopia, Gordon Krantz prefers to act out a few misremembered plays in exchange for a few meals and a bath.Īll of that changes, however, in the opening paragraphs when he is robbed of his few possessions and left to die without clothing or shelter. The Postman follows the adventures - I'd say 'exploits', except that the protagonist tries so hard not to exploit others - of a truly reluctant hero. ![]() Artistic license never had it so free as Costner took with the film. Oh, and by the way: it bears almost zero resemblance to the movie. It is more prescient than anyone who has seen the Kevin Costner flick might have ever imagined, and much of it is completely believable. The Postman by David Brin, is a much-needed salvo in these uncertain times of ours. ![]()
