Dune
Science fiction often paints a dystopian picture of the future, a larger-than-life warning about where myopic, unsustainable action can lead us. That is certainly true of the Dune series by Frank Herbert. I recently finished reading the third book, Children of Dune, and find its images hauntingly familiar: a desert planet plagued by Machiavellian politics, where the only thing more valuable than water is melange, a drug that is universally desired but only mined on Arrakis. It is a cautionary tale about the pursuit of power, the blindness of religion, the traps of pleasure and the vulnerability of ecosystems.
