    Asimov wasn’t the only author to appear in advertisements. Frank Herbert’s novel Dune was a major hit with readers in the 1970s, propelling him into the public spotlight in the following years. This prompted Pacific Bell to put him before a camera and have him talk about the future and the upcoming internet.
