This is a good article.

I really do enjoy that about Dune. Its generally resilient against effective monetization and as such i don't have to feel associated with predatory marketing when i talk about these books.

And yet, if someone was printing Goodnight Dune in a proper board book I'd be first in line to buy one

That farmer was well within the range of the sinkhole. He should have maintained his 'thopter better, for vertical ascent alone would have saved him. Yet he did not heed the Fremen wisdom "who makes a home with only one means of escape, deserves to die".

And on a plot level, Lynch’s additions to and deviations from the source material — lethal voice-based telekinesis via “weirding modules,” catchphrases like “the spice must flow,” the presence of pugs on the battlefield — all have one thing in common: They’re loving awesome.

Moreover, the societal extrapolations of these authors’ books are frequently so big and broad that individual aspects which match your individual beliefs, whatever they are, are easy to find; that there’s a breed of fascist who loves Orwell, who literally went to war against fascists, is one of the more obvious examples. Naturally, right-wingers and Randian tech freaks have never met a fantasy text they aren’t stupid and vicious enough to twist into a leader-cult training manual, and thus, nincompoop messiah Elon Musk can and will unironically compare himself to Muad’dib.

Get off my science fiction, Elon Musk. Come to think of it, stay away from ALL sf just to be safe.

Why do they call you Leto II when you are clearly Leto III? And seriously, how the ever living gently caress did you get the idea that covering yourself in larval sandworms would create some sort of human/worm/God hybrid that would actually work and not doom yourself to a short pain-filled existence of people laughing at your hubris?

Also what is your favourite food?
