Dune is a story about men in rubber suits fighting over who gets to eat the poop of giant sand worms.
There’s a lot of ways telling that story on a cinema screen can go HORRIBLY wrong.
Even after the success of Dune part 1 – which I consider to be a masterpiece – Denis Villeneuve has an uphill fight to repeat the trick with DUNE 2.
As a lesson in narrative craft and storytelling, it’s valuable to think through what those challenges are and how the story will have to be adapted to prevent it being a total…
…DUNETASTROPHE
TRIGGER WARNING – contains criticism of Frank Herbert and the essentially gendered nature of archetypal storytelling.

The I-Ching is a 5000 year old book of wisdom…which I think qualifies as “ancient”.
Around 17 years ago I made a reading from the I-Ching (by tossing coins to generate one of the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching). The reading had a dramatic effect on my life. In fact it’s fair to say I would’t be leading the life I am today if I hadn’t stuck my nose into this weird old book.
The latest episode of the Science Fiction podcast tells the story of that reading, and delves into why the I-Ching has such a powerful hold on the human imagination for over five millennia.
Warning – it’s possible that none of this is true.
