Read it.
It is the culmination of a lot of art into a single piece in a way that hasn't really happened since.
Star Wars is a cheap imitation.
It kind of calls out the Jews/Jesuits with the Bene Gesserit.
Either way, it illustrates societal power dynamics in a way more honest than nearly any other work.
"The spice must flow" is still a relevant and important metaphor.
I read it when I was around 10 years old but haven't revisited it since then. Never sat down and watched any of the movies from start to finish either.
The recent Dune film is better, but still somewhat "comic book" in depth compared to the book itself. Don't think it's worth it to watch any of the older films, I'm told they're pretty trash.
The spice must flow
Yes. Yes it must... Was going to comment that, but I see you beat me to it. Excellent book.
