+What does Star Wars, Jodorowsky, Moebius, H.R. Giger, and Papa Lynch (David Lynch) have in common?

+@dune-cover.jpg
+Dune is a space sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert.
+Dune is set in a universe where humankind expanded through the
+universe, and has evolved in different paths. In the Dune universe,
+humankind has renounce advance technology, after a massive war against
+Artificial Intelligence and Robots.
+
+@space-guild.jpg
+Through centuries of selected breeding, Humankind has evolved in
+various ways to replace the lack of advance technology. Capable of
+travelling through the universe, and settle in multiple planets.
+Humankind is now compromise of different evolved groups with specific key skills.
+The most known of the group are the Bene Gesserit and the Mentats.
+
+@bene-geserrit.jpg
+The Bene Gesserit who have psychic and cosmic powers, that allows them to see the
+past and the future. They only breed females, and only females can receive the training.
+
+@mentat.jpg
+The Mentats are literally super powered biological computers.
+Evolved after the war agaist the AI Robots. After forbidden any AI,
+the mentats provide the service that that electronic computers used to.
+
+@arrakis.jpg
+In Dune, the main planet of the story is Arrakis.
+
+@arrakis-2.jpg
+Arrakis is a desert planet. Arrakis is an extreme habitat, where water
+is scarce, and it never rains.
+
+@shai-hulud.png
+The planet's flora and fauna has adapted to the harh environment, and
+the key organism of the desert are the sand worms also known as Shai Hulud.
+
+@arrakis-port.jpg
+But Arrakis, is important to the universe, because it's the only
+planet in where people can harvest the most addictive spice, melange.
+
+@paul-atreides.png
+Dune centers around Paul Atreides, the son of the Duke of the Atreides
+clan.
+
+@clan-atreides.jpg
+His family is sent to Arrakis to manage the planet's Empire presence,
+the spice control and exportation, and the clans in Arrakis.
+
+So why should you read the Dune novels?

+
+The Journey
+
+@books.jpg
+#Dune rewards you for pushing through the details and world building
+#found in the first book, by letting you immerse yourself in all of the
+#following books with a fantastic pace and speed. It only takes reading the first book.
+
+The Poetic Writing
+
+“Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying:
+'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'
+\
+- from "Collected Sayings of Maud'Dib'' by the Princess Irulan”
+
+“There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times to develop psychic muscles.
+\-- Muad'Dib”
+
+#The poetic nature of Hebert's writing makes Dune feel operadic and
+#epic. Making the experience feel as detailed as Tolkien, and as vivid
+#as Stephen King. There is even writing in verses of wisdom like any
+#holy book, but for the main tribes in Dunes universe
+# Frank Herbert designed the rhythm of the books, and how they all
+# connect to create a space opera that influences and entertains
+# the reader at every stage of each Dune novel.
+
+The Origin of Most Sci-Fi Tropes
+
+Frank Herbert's 1965 Dune is to science fiction what
+The Lord of The Rings is to fantasy:
+the most popular, most influential and most
+critically-acclaimed novel in the genre.
+
+@starwars.jpg
+I am not going to stab Star Wars like most of the Dune fanbase, given
+that Frank Herbert, the author, said that if wasn't Star Wars it would
+be another director that would take as much as Star Wars did.
+If you want examples, the Senate is the Space Guild in Dune.
+The Jedi training and powers are almost identical to the Bene Geserrit Skills.
+The sand worm in Return of the Jedi... And the list continues
+
+@incal.jpg
+
+@expanse.png
+
+Morality vs Ethics
+#Herbert wanted the readers to not only entertain the reader,
+# but to create a vessel to think about deeper Human issues.
+# While most sci-fi in the past, focuses on speculation and
+# adventure to distract, Herbert utilizes Sci-Fi to ask questions.
+
+Herbert challenge us to examine our conventions and culture
+
+Herbert constantly emphasis the importance of
+learning from the mistakes of the past
+
+The most dangerous of all creations is a rigid code of ethics
+# In Children of Doom, the main topic is how the code of humankind
+# and the application of strict ethics can lead to fatal conflicts.
+# thus given us a lesson on totalitarians and fascism.
+
+
+Thanks for your attention.
+Now go read Dune.
