Review: The Postman

The Postman by David Brin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a 5-star review.

The primary problem with reading this book after seeing the movie is that the movie has altered your perception of how the story should unfold. It took a little while to undo that influence.

The Postman is an outstanding rumination on the application of personal morals; particularly absent a larger framework that encourages us to be better citizens. The book also provides some interesting opportunities to think about how technology can be used, how it can be abused, and how it influences our lives.

Well worth the read.
