Geez!  If you're going to post this to sf-lovers, too, please don't use
the term ``sci-fi''.  ``SF'' is much nicer.  ``Sci-fi'' brings to mind
Japanese monster flicks.

It was Zelazny.  Not particularly at his best.  Never saw the movie they
made out of this.  Anyone seen it and/or liked it?

I didn't see the original article, but if the requester was looking for
stories set after the fall of civilization (not necessarily ours), I'd
recommend:

	``Nightfall'' by Isaac Asimov.  A classic short story
	about a world orbitting multiple suns, forever in daylight,
	where civilization crumbles each epoch in which all of
	the planet's suns are eclipsed simultaneously.

	``A World Out Of Time'' by Larry Niven.  Thrown three
	million years into the future by a relativistic space
	voyage, the hero returns to Earth to find the survivors
	of humanity living among the ruins.
