DELPHINE DESCENDS
After her family is killed and her homeworld occupied, young Kathreen Martin is sent to the distant world of Furoris for re-education. She will live the rest of her life as a serf - to be bought and sold as a commodity of the Imperial Network.
When her only chance of escape is ruined, a chance mistaken identity offers her a new life as the orphaned daughter of a First-Citizen Senator and heiress to a vast fortune.
She vows to claw her way into power to sit among the worlds’ elite. Then, with her own hands, she will reap bloody vengeance on them all.
But to beat them, she must play their game. And she must play it better than them all.
BLACK MILK
Prometheus has the chance to bring his wife back from the dead, but doing so will mean the destruction of Earth.
Spanning time, planets and dimensions, Black Milk draws to a climactic point in a post-apocalyptic future, where humanity, stranded with no planet to call home, fights to survive against a post-human digital entity that pursues them through the depths of space.
Five lives separated by aeons are inextricably linked by Prometheus’s actions:
Ystil.3 is an AI unit sent back in time from the distant future to investigate Prometheus’s discovery...
The mysterious Lydia has devoted her life to finding a planet that the last remaining humans can call home…
Tom Jones (he’s a HUGE fan!) is an AI trapped inside a digital subspace, lost and desperate to find his way back to his beloved in real-time…
Dr Norma Stanwyck is a neuroscientist from 24th Century Earth whose personal choices ripple throughout time...
Prometheus must learn the necessity of death or the entire universe will be swallowed by his grief.

The images in my videos are mostly licensed stock photos. However, occasionally I will use images found online. I always seek to properly credit artists and offer a link back to their amazing work but sometimes it's hard to find the original source of the work. If I've used an image you own and I haven't credited you, please feel free to get in touch as I am always more than happy to do so.

Great video, as always! I'd add one more lesson. That humans are capable of becoming Mentats, Bene Gesserit, Bene Tleilax, and all this through clean training. As philosophy, it poses that those abilities are potentials in us, right now. It's contrasted with the Guild and Leto, who took a powerful drug to end up transforming and losing humanity. It also suggests that giving up computer tech might be necessary to achieve the development

One of your best yet, Daryl. The insights in Dune are immense, profound and inspiring. My first love really. And timelessly One Step Beyond - Madness 😅😊

Hi Darrel, I tried to email you, but the address was returned as not found. Is there any way to contact you? I'd explain why I want to contact you here in the comments, but I think it would be bad form. Anyway, it goes without saying, thanks for the video and I'm glad to have found your channel. All the best!
