Now, I will say, that Dune holds up remarkably well. Inventing a Universe where computer technology is constrained by history makes it feel less dated.

To backtrack a little...some of it is hard SF but it's not Asimov. I'm talking purely about the shelf-life of the tech.
Some of it was pretty hard SF (
PartnerShip) but I don't have the science background to say how true she stayed to the details.
