A Truly Talented Sci fiWriter Like Frank Herbert Wrote Dune in the 1960's its Future tech was way more imaginative as well as his Characters but.... Oh no!!I just mentioned Asimov and Frank Herbert in the same forum post about Sci fi writers
My deepest Apologies to Fellow Frank Herbert Fans.
I loved Dune, but it's maybe not the best example of imaginative science fiction, since it's jihad in space with magical powers. The characters even use the Arabic word for 'dune.' The "future tech" in that book was about on the same level as Star Wars.
