I’d never heard of Alas Babylon until you mentioned it in a book. Reading it now and loving it. Thank you.
Also, I’d given up gardening because of all of the many “right” ways to do it. You are a breath of common sense in a world of marketing driven complexification.

Thank you, Doug. That is one of the best novels I’ve ever read.
Just ordered both books. I find newer science fiction “less real” than old. Have you ever read Vonnegut’s “Player Piano”? or Butler’s “Erehwon”, anybody?

I haven’t read either of those. But the new stuff really isn’t great.
I can certainly recommend both (Erehwon is particularly interesting considering is was published in 1872) (Player Piano in 1952). It’s been years since I read either, but I still ponder them quite often. I’ve read recent Sci Fi, but barely remember the titles!
Okay, back outside to move that compost pile…
