What? I thought the Civil War would be in full swing by 2025? I do
believe books make pretty good bullet-stops. Maybe bookstores will
become redoubts for the intellectual elite as they "just want to keep
reading books" while the revolution is being televised (I mean
facebooked, or tweeted, or instagrammed?). I think my adobe walls are
probably better, but then I do need to do something about the big
windows! Glad I saved all those books!
If not a true apocalypse by then, maybe it could be a movie set in the
same world as Costner's Postman.
