Ultimate Guide to Dune | All Six Books

Spoilers on! Dune is the greatest Sci-Fi series ever written. Frank Herbert's Masterpiece spans over five thousand years, contains dozens of main characters, and explores the human condition in a way that no novels before have. Join me as I cover all 6 books in this series! Welcome to my Ultimate Guide to Dune series, where I take you on an epic journey through Frank Herbert's legendary sci-fi universe.
The planet Arrakis also known as Dune, Is the only place in the known universe where the spice melange is found. The spice is a drug that is used throughout the Imperium for various purposes mainly its geriatric properties, the spice is life and can more than double the human life span. In some special people such as the highly trained Bene Gesserit Reverend mothers, The spice melange can awaken prescient Vision, sight of the future. The spice also heightens awareness and is used by The Guild as a means of space travel. Spice melange is the gasoline of the universe, without it all Commerce throughout the inhabited universe would cease.

[@ellugerdelacruz2555]

You're welcome Quinn.❤ If I had a time machine, I would go back in time to tell Frank Herbert to just stop at God-Emperor or maybe find a way to preserve his life so the series could be properly finished. Either way, God-Emperor should've been the last book i.m.o. considering how things actually went in this timeline.

[@jaquandrejones]

​@@ellugerdelacruz2555​you really think Leto putting millennia into preserving humanity's trajectory to stay on the golden path is the end of a story? Naturally the golden path has a destination that frank wanted to explore.

[@reysolo3672]

What happens if I just don't get it? the movie made it clear but the book doesn't really offer counter examples of good dictators/absolute power. check out Legend of Galactic Heroes. Maybe this is just a warning against Hitler- a specific type of leader...OTL.

[@rafaelgustavo7786]

Frank Herbert was right: Charismatic leaders make people forget that you are often dealing with monsters.

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

Or rather, power turns charismatic leaders into monsters.

[@petew.7870]

✅✅✅

[@Grimloxz]

Power is attractive in the extreme to monsters. That’s why we find so many there - not necessarily because it changes people. _That’s_ who those people were…

[@buttlord4204]

I've yet to see a charismatic leader in my life, so I can see how I'd be susceptible to one. God, especially if it were someone who seemed so great that I wished to dedicate myself to his/her will. I think we'd all like to think we'd be immune, but we wouldn't. For real though, so much moreso today than in the era Dune sprung out of, the world, society, our government, it is all just so empty, dead. Just give me someone who truly has life, who is honest and charismatic, who seems to like or love me, and has a vision of a better world than he is dedicated to... I think, if I believed in it, it'd be all over. That kind of sureness is hard to come by.. or should I say, impossible, most of the time, just not out there. So if it were available, God, I'd want to believe it, I'd want to serve it, i'd do so to my peril, and the peril of everyone else

[@breezyx976]

Also people who take power often try to enforce their beliefs upon others (religion/morality/drugs/guns/immigration/health/etc.), which makes lots of problems when they fail to consider that they may be wrong

[@cindy4u99]
