Query: The best that Science Fiction has to offer

All too often, when friends discover I enjoy science fiction, there is the qustion of why. I point to The Postman as an example of what a gifted writer can do with the genre. If you heard that this is a tale of post-apocalyptic America, your first thought would be Road Warrior and you could not be more wrong. Its simple plot gives way to complex themes. Mr. Brin examines the relations that keep society together, the relations between men and women and the need for one man to be a part of something lager. In the end, it is hope, fragile as it is, that binds us together. If you do not like science fiction, if you do but are longing for something with a little depth, please read this book.
