    Doctor: There seems to be something wrong with the image.

    Technician: What’s the problem?

    Doctor: The patient only has two breasts, but the image that came back from the AI machine shows them having six breasts and much MUCH larger breasts than the patient actually has.

    Technician: sighs




  • (Just my opinions, so, keep that in mind.)

    More like explaining things that didn’t need to be explained.

    spoiler

    The Butlerian Jihad is wrapped up, pretty sure the explanation of what the Golden Path was supposed to lead humanity to overcome is revealed/resolved, the reasons for the conflict in the third book are wrapped up with the resolution of the Butlerian Jihad being finished. So kind of consequential if you wanted the story to “end” but then the series stops being a metaphor about things (like the first part of the books could be argued for) and just a regular sci-fi story.



  • It moves along the story, but from the other replies to my comment, I didn’t get Dune-pilled hard enough. =)

    Its not bad, though, don’t get me wrong.

    For my money, I could have stopped at the third and probably would have had a pretty high opinion of the series. The fourth one, for me anyways, was interesting in that it had a very different tone but I was reading the books back to back and it felt different enough that it was jarring to my expectations.


  • First chunk of the series is by the original author Frank Herbert, then his son Brian started helping for the next chunk of books. Then Frank died and his son found materials in a forgotten safety deposit box (or so the claim goes) and Brian wrote some more books with help from some other people who’d helped in previous books.

    From my experience, the farther along the books go, they shift to being less Dune and slide into a more typical Sci-Fi/Fantasy with Dune-y aesthetics.
