Also the political factions are fighting over this substance that is entirely based around a handshake deal to not use computers, they go to insane lengths to not use computers even though they know how to build them
Every fucking faction in the series does the most atrocious, evil, backstabby things, straight up genocide, but they all absolutely agree to not build a computer, sorry, that's taking it a bit too far don't you think
- The books and recent movies got praised for being progressive somehow? Frank Herbert is a conservative, Republican white dude and his bad politics are all over it
- He was like "I'm going to create a new series with a different style so I'm going to spend a few years living with the desert people, now I know what they are like, get ready for orientalist and racist tropes all over the place with my sand people stuff"
- The whole series surrounds eugenics
- Seriously the main character is himself a privileged blue eyed white guy who turns out to be the savior of the brown people
- I find the writing style to be extremely painful
Sand worms rule though, can't deny that
