Heretics of Dune
Where I heard about it
- The a16z infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the must-read (S tier) band of its sci-fi section, as volume five of the Dune entry, in the stretch the list describes as fast-forwarding thousands of years.
About this edition
Published in 1984. Humanity has Scattered across the galaxy, and the factions that survived the collapse — the Bene Gesserit, the Tleilaxu, and the returning Honored Matres — contest what is left of Arrakis and of the old order’s genetic and religious programs.
