The Last Letter by Fritz Leiber (SF Story of Robotic Intelligence)

It was a day like any other, except for that one letter in the mail - a hand-written letter that paralysed the postal service.
Published June 1958 ~ Galaxy Science Fiction

Wow! This was rather prophetic! Ads through the mail and over the phone?!!!

[@johndutchman]

Advertising has always sucked .. love these older stories that use that angle.

[@noahway13]

Mail with envelopes ? It is so hard to see the future.

Love this story! No one writes stories of the caliber any longer.

It's funny how all of the old 50's SF stories have predicted our modern technology so well, but all of the social conventions are always so 50's!

Because technocrats were the ones writing them and the ones in power.

Years ago way back in time I read so many of his books and others as well.
