No, I have not. I'll check it out, thanks.
Dr. Henley:
I think you might appreciate a point that I have to make about all this.
You know how some novels and other works of fiction can seem strangely prophetic?
Have you ever read the 1970 novel I Will Fear No Evil by Robert Heinlein?
So much in that book seems to mirror things that are happening now . . . including people changing their gender, rioting, the public supported by an ever-shrinking pool of productive working people, communual stupidity (including the headlines that we see in the news), and so on.
Heinlein even got time frame and dates roughly correct.
The name of the novel was Friday, and it was one of my favorites.One of my favorite authors. Forget which book but main Character "Friday" could not use her money card (credit / debit card) because the people after her could track her if she used it. The strange point, credit and debit cards did not exist when Heinlein wrote the story.
There was a "mini fad" at the begining of the COVID19 epidemic that was started by a young woman licking toilet seats, if you'll remember?*No, I have not. I'll check it out, thanks.

Friday was published in 1982.
I had a check card in the 1970s.
ATMs were patented in 1964.
BankAmericard (Visa) and American Express came out in 1958.
There was a great novel by Louis L'Amour, and I don't remember the name.At one point in time, I had every book written by Heinlein. Also had the full collection of Louis L'Amour. Hit hard times one time and had to sell off everything, including my book collections. Loved those two authors. Great reading.

It was about a Native American fighter pilot who was forced to land in the Soviet Union, and he escaped and had to resort to his Native American survival skills to fight his way across Siberia . . . dodging a Yakut tracker that the KGB assigned to capture him. The book was interesting, as the story made it a point to show how civilization gradually peeled off of him like the layers of an onion . . . until he had become the same as his ancestors.
I wish I could remember the name of this novel.
I looked it up online. It's called Last of the Breed, and was published in 1986.I remember and loved that story too. Like you the title escapes me. C,mom, folks hep out here.

A very good read, and it is of interest to anyone who thinks about prepping.
I agree with you on both points.Thanks Kevin. I am getting old and too many great books / stories have passed through my hands. Star Ship Troopers was another good read but the movie screwed it up big time.
I always go to the movies when a favorite book gets made into one, and usually find myself disappointed.
