Why this is on Radar
A survivor impersonates a postal worker and accidentally restores a national institution.
After a nuclear war, a drifter puts on a dead postman's uniform and starts delivering mail, and the fiction becomes infrastructure. Brin's argument is that legitimacy is something people agree to rebuild.
