Dune (1965)

I listened to the audiobook version of Dune, the 1965 sci-fi book written by Frank Herbert.

I had started my Audible subscription to listen to non-fiction books that I could just not get through reading. I expanded it for reading science fiction and fantasy books which also tend to be really long. I thought that the audiobook format would be the perfect way to consume this content. Especially the older ones.

The story is a political thriller set in a science fictional future. If you removed the frame of a futuristic planet and interplanetary rivalries, it is just political intrigue.

I would probably watch the movie and not read the rest of the series.
