Lol I posted that because it's a part of the genre where Bradbury-brand technophobes put across really basic social commentary in really cringy ways and present them as deeper than anything Plato could surmise.

- and where has the expression "going postal" come from? Never heard that before.

There was a trend of postal workers shooting up their workplaces that led to that term

The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1986 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1970 and 1997, more than 40 people were killed by current or former employees in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage.
