I read #Dune (just the first book) a long time ago yet it left such an impression. I can't put my finger on why I liked it so much, but Frank Herbert had some sort of arcane mastery. So many memetic things from a single source: maud'dib, Bene Gesserit witch, the litany against fear, and the careful, patient, and intentional ecological work of Kynes with the Fremen.
