Herbert was skilled at creating fascinatingly foreign and complex cultures, and then demonstrating through them the tedious ideas of 1950s-era busines...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16354122">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Those of you who grew up playing the Sega Genesis and constantly confronting an evil “Mother Brain” at the end of our favorite games will appreciate Frank Herbert’s post Dune writings.  This book is the pinnacle of life supporting super computer gone bad.  Yes, it is better than 2001 so don’...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6457262">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just finished this sequel to the Whipping Star.  A good book, but hard to follow.  Herbert has some amazing ideas about science fiction, but it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep up with him.  If you want to knock the cobwebs out of your noggin, this might be a good book to start with.]]></body>
