The Postman by David Brin
A fascinating page turner of a book with lots of great ideas but not terribly well written to my mind. The population of the United States has been decimated by climate shift, disease and bands of insane survivalists. Gordon Krantz, a lone survivor living a subsistence level existence in the hills of Oregon, is set upon and robbed of all his possessions by a band of men. He finds the ruined remains of a jeep with a postman inside and takes the clothes, and the role of postman, and becomes an unwilling extraordinary symbol of hope in a particularly dark age.
