  Ironic comment, since Dune’s story is biblical supernatural nonsense written by a racist reactionary narcissist who probably does think the Bible is the greatest book of all time.

    I’d not looked into Frank before now, but I’ve read 2.5 of the dune books. It’s weird to see he was a self described conservative and libertarian. The whole dune story seems to mock everything he stands for politically. It’s like he was completely unaware of the power structures he was writing about exist across all US (and non-US) political parties.

      The story glorifies a eugenically engineered monarchy and waxes poetic about the evils of homosexuality.

        Yeah, but that isn’t why people like it. Like Harry potter and Wizarding world of the transphobe.
