| Re: Dune and science fiction
I'm a great fan of Dune, but even in my very limited reading of science fiction, there are two novels (Dan Simmons' Ilium and Franz Kafka's The Trial) which surpass Dune, and in the whole of speculative fiction, I've read about 30 which I consider superior. It's a great science fiction novel, no doubt, but it doesn't come close to being the most imaginative in the genre. |
