Dune lore is fucking insane. I just finished the first book, and have concluded that Frank Herbert is a goddamn genius.
20,000 years in the future.
Matriarchal cult of eugenisist space-nuns with weird psychic powers
Houses that resemble the royalty of medieval earth, all still obsessed with power and profit over everything else
complex religions with clear inspirations of real-world present religions (specifically catholicism and islam)
Human supercomputers?? that are also assassins??
A prison planet that creates supersoldiers by killing the weak to filter out the strongest
the main villain being the physical embodiment of sin (gluttony, lust, greed)
politics. holy war. oppression of native peoples. false prophets. cults. drugs. worms.
and that just scratches the surface. theres five more books…

Posting this bc of all the new Dune fans: grimes' first album was actually a Dune-themed concept album. Worth listening to, even though it was made on garageband

This is how Geidi Primes feels
...When you touch my heart, I know I love you...
...If you ever had a new computer
Can you see the light from over there?
...Sewing up my heart
Get love in equal stitch...
...Rosa, Rosa, Rosa...
...Oh, I won't take your breath away
Your lungs are too far from my cold fingers...
...am noisy now
I'm almost there, I'm almost...
...I won't break your heart in the dark...
