TMA_1 Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Has anybody out there read frank herbert's other books? what d oyou guys think of them? I think that frank had a real thing about artificial intelligence. I think that a lot of his other books are just as good or maybe even better then dune. What d oyou guys think?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I'm trying to get the some of he's other books but I haven't read them yet. However God Emperor of Dune, Heretics, and Chapterhouse are the best books I've ever read I love you Frank Herbert ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I don't think it's AI Frank Herbert liked. More special persones, special "supernatural" gift's and mayby "mechanical" percission represented in people. ( humans or alien so to speak ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 17, 2002 Author Share Posted February 17, 2002 But look at the Destination: Void series. It is about artificial intelligence on the most part. The ship that was turned into a thinking machine to sustain its crew. how it eventually became godlike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I mostly looked at the "godlike" part myself. Just as in Dune and The Dosaidi experiment. The fact remains that he has something for AI or godlike persones. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 His son also has that theme in one of his books besides the Dune prequels that he and KJ Anderson have written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I didn't read anything written by Kevin Herbert. That is exept for House Atreides, House Harkonnen and House Corrino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
