Synopsis

Get excited for the 2021 Denis Villeneuve Dune film release, starring Timoth�e Chalamet, with The Science of Dune!

This guide offers fascinating scientific speculation on topics including quantum physics, biochemistry, ecology, evolution, psychology, technology, and genetics. It scrutinizes Frank Herbert’s science fiction world by asking questions such as:

Is the ecology of Dune realistic?

Is it theoretically possible to get information from the future?

Could humans really evolve as Herbert suggests?

Which of Herbert’s inventions have already come to life?

This companion is a must-have for any fan who wants to revisit the world of Dune and explore it even further.
