    Hope it's ok to bring this thread back to the top, as I just came across it. Any true Dune fans here? Not the movie specifically but of the books and the universe. It's probably one of the most influential books of my life to be honest. Its themes and matters are so relevant today (AI, sustainability, power, dickhead leaders, etc.) and I sometimes wonder whether the world today is shaped by these books and others. Herbert must have been considered an incredible visionary back then. Like the idea of Liet-Kynes, the imperial planetologist, that's incredible. I wonder why such role doesn't exist today, as we sure need it?

    • Nope.
      Just DUNC fans here.      Continuity
    • I only read the first two books, and it was so long ago and I was so young I’m not sure I got the “most” out of them. But still, I feel like a fan :)monospaced
    • Haven't read the books. I'm part of the DUNC group. 1 was alright, 2 holds on its own, much like TDK. Not holding my breath for the third.palimpsest
    • First book only, but happy to nerd out. I wouldn't complain if we had a Butlerian Jihad. No more tiktok Broccoli Heads.garbage
