    What is amazing to me is the connectivity through the many years, both in the actual writers, and the eons in the story. It left a mark on me as a young reader.

      What do you mean, the scope?

      Yes. I was amazed at the capacity to tie all of the eons that this these writers tied together. The lights that followed them, the intrigue. The Bene Gesserit thread, amazing

      So what is Dune about? I'm not sure if I should be expecting Star Wars, Lawrence of Arabia or Tolkien.

      There are aspects of all 3 of those stories plus add in some King of Thrones and that would sum it up for me.

      Yes, the mixing of the future with modern day things based on human interaction from our past.
