"This is the way it had to be, Leto, she thought. "A time of love and a time of grief. She rested her hand on her abdomen,"

READ 'Dune' by Frank Herbert

[bluebelly345]

Finally finished Dune book, and as someone who watched the movies first, I have two general thoughts:

The first movie was actually pretty accurate to the corresponding book parts, even some portions of dialogue were taken straight from the book. The second movie though, was mostly based on the vibes and general idea of the events that followed the first parts (which I ultimately think was a good call from Villeneuve, even though I was oftentimes surprised by things that were changed or omitted)

The movies really help with visualizing the entire planet and the world in general, but the book describes interesting details and explains things that are kind of considered as a given in movies. So I would recommend reading the book if you only watched movies, as you might end up appreciating them even more.

Read-alikes for Dune by Frank Herbert…

The massive popularity of the Dune movie series has put the books by Frank Herbert in high demand. If you haven’t been able to get hold of a copy, or you’ve already read the series and are looking for more books like it here are some you may like: 

The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester

A protagonist with psionic powers navigating an interplanetary war. Warring clans and the honing of one's body. 

Hyperion - Dan Simmons

A story of the interconnectivity of many galactic empires. A story of pilgrimage and spiritual philosophy explored.

Red Star - Alexander Bogdanov

A more realist approach to the dreaming up of ‘worlds that could be’ and how humans will adapt and build. This sci-fi forerunner is an early inspiration to so many narratives that came after. Governmental struggle and political philosophy abound.

A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine

Diplomatic intrigue and navigating political conquest. An adventure through a deep and well-crafted galactic empire. 

Foundation - Isaac Asimov 

As Dune tells a story of warring empires, Asimov writes of a galactic empire in decline, alluding to the fall of the roman empire. The protagonist battles the looming possibility of a dark age.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

If the dystopian control of those in power and battling between hierarchies of Dune were of interest to you, Huxley’s Brave New World is a predecessor and must read. 

The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin

Le Guin crafts a tale of a galactic empire through the lens of anthropology and feminist theory similar to the exploration of gender dynamics found in Dune. The world building has a great depth like Dune, and there is a similar focus on ecology and the ‘what ifs’ around environmental sci-fi.

If there's ever another Dune adaptation in the future they should switch things up and make it an animated musical where nothing is taken as seriously as it probably should be. Send tweet
