Out of nowhere, my dad recommended a #scifi novel to read, "Ender's Game" by Orson Card. I have not heard of either. So, "Ender's Game" won the 1985 Hugo Award. The same year David Brin with his "The Postman" (which is also an undeservedly condemned Kevin Costner movie; btw, "Waterworld" is another fine movie) was among the nominees.

"The Postman" is a great novel, and a post-apocalyptic fiction loved by the Fallout fans, of course. It develops the role of communication and connections for the health of society. Speculations on a similar subject are found in "Death Stranding", that obscure Kojima game with, actually, pretty serious and pretty adult plot and themes. To be consistent with the #BSDCafe , and to sync with the real world - the credit for keeping folks in touch goes to sendmail and Eric Allman, the husband of you-know-who.

As for now, I have to read "Ender's Game", re-read "The Postman", probably (was in my teens back then and didn't read it in English), and also try to self-host a mail server. Though, I’ve heard this is quite a complex hassle normies should not do.
