But, it was a good mistake. Of course, I then had to hunt down the other novel whose name I couldn't remember.
And David Brin's "Postman" has just come to mind. It is about a drifter who accidentally restarts the postal service after an apocalypse. Very enjoyable, but I'm always a little dissatisfied by how Brin ends his novels. Though this is a collection of stories rather than a novel. And don't let the movie put you off it.
