It’s the absolute climax!!!! But I have been soooo tired and I am going to sleep and wrap this up later because I’m tired of feeling like hollow death from poor sleep

At this point maintaining the Yueh / Jessica dichotomy is starting to feel silly

Bummer about Liet! This story is killing off big characters at a… relatively quick rate. His chapter is interesting though, an intersection of both ecology and the darker future proposed by messianism that books Dune influenced missed the point of.

We are firmly into the action-driven section of the book, now, and also attempting to describe the horror of prescience

I wonder how much of the trappings of modern “fantasy” owes to Dune

I was too tired last night to post any real update but, I sort of knew that Dune was basically a sort of fantasy / sci-fi hybrid, not just because of the sort of powers related to ancestral memory and the future but because of the flavoring of the universe, and while I can’t say that it absolutely cooks (because the first 50 pages are more about Paul’s impending predicament) it’s still cool.
