| Re: Dune and science fiction
One thing I don't really like is the extremely slow pace of technological advancement. The original Dune series takes place about 20000 years in the future. Although it's not surprising mankind under the Old Empire and the Thinking Machines wasn't advancing at all, the 10000 years of Imperial rule didn't do much either. Considering how fast we're advancing today (50 years is enough to change how we live completely) many things remain the same for mellenia in the Dune universe. |
