Despite how ambivalent I am to the David Lynch movie, I'd much rather have this than the glorification of Jodorowsky - who think it's okay to use the word rape when talking about either a male author or a female actor who in some respects was his subordinate.

Not exactly saying much given how sci-fi usually treats women, mind, and he'd definitely gone down the rabbit hole into some weird-rear end fetishes by the end.

I havent read all of the Dune books so I cannot promise this with 100% accuracy, BUT


Nothing Herbert did was as weird as his contemporary Heinlein, especially towards the end of his career. Time Enough For Love is the weirdest poo poo out there

Dunno about the wife abuse, but Asmiov was a horrible, horrible sexual harasser. Like, to the point where people had to physically block him from groping women.

:lol: at least this isnt a sex thing. IIRC Meyer aged up the kid to 2-3 because she actually had kids and suuuuuper didnt like the baby stage. TBH maybe the most realistic and practical thing demonstrated in fantasy

Dick blew up several of his marriages by being a speed freak and constantly blowing all his money on drugs. He wasn’t a molester that I know of, but he beat at least one of his wives and also once attempted suicide by car crash while his girlfriend was in the car. Fascinating writer but from everything I’ve ever heard about him, incredibly lovely to know

Bester was a huge drunken misogynist and possibly more, but at least he had the guts to make his main characters very obvious shitbags rather than hiding behind them.


Caveats and all, The Stars My Destination is about as perfect as golden age sci-fi lit gets.
