New Dune fan arriving March 11th, 2011

Post by Spicelon »

Long time, no post. Went and got hitched and just found out my swimmers are strong as ever. Gonna be 45 years old when the new Dune fan hatches. Am I nuts? Oh hell yes. Already have an 11 and 14 year old - that path done grew over. Should be an adventure though!

I wonder how Dune will be received by future generations... I hope your kids love it as much as we do! :D

Congrats Spice. How do your children feel about the soon-to-be new addition?

Oh don't feel too bad. Got a friend whose first son was 19 when her second son was born.

I would imagine it'd be about the same, since it's already in its "future generations". It'll probably eventually fade until it's only a "classic" that people read like Tolstoi, more because they're told to than because they actually want to (not that he isn't good). That'll probably take a good many generations though.

I was looking at it more like how Dune will be perceived when religions clash and join and new philosophies emerge. After I posted I realized Dune isn't that special since every science fiction is a little prophetic, but I'd I'm still curious how Dune compares to our future religions.

Ah, I see your point, I imagine it'll be interesting. We'll sure as hell never see Buddhislam though, that was a funny one. :)

Do not be quick to reveal judgment. Hidden judgment is often more potent. It can guide reaction whose effects are felt only when too late to divert them.
