Dune - the future?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is DUNE series set in a different universe really? I mean just think, the history is all the same as ours, but only that this is in the future. So why do people say Dune is a whole different universe? Or is there a different meaning of universe that possibly means a world (group) of people?

A universe can be used metaphorically as well as literally. But I think Dune is supposed to be our future. (hence the references to old terra, the house of Atreus, etc.)

I'm sure someone will ahe the facts, but I think the first books set in about 5000 years ofter the formatiom of the spacing guild. which is (I think) about 30,000 years from now.
