Going Postal is a Terry Pratchett novel about rebuilding the failed postal service by restoring the public institution, over private interests that want to keep it dead. decent book, fairly funny.
And the alternative that supplanted the postal service is not-so-subtly supposed to be the Internet. The best part is that it champions both utilities even though they directly compete with one another, the only real bad actor in the book is the ISP analogue that ran the clacks.
