DUNE - Cosmic Capitalism & Intergalactic Imperialism

HOLD ON TO YOUR SPICES YOU SEXY CULTIST CAUSE THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT: DUNE
In honor of the upcoming movie adaptation of the cult-classic sci-fi book series, DUNE (written by Frank Herbert in 1965) and the 20th Century Movie adaptation "Dune" (Dir David Lynch in 1984). 
DUNE is a landmark of soft science fiction. Herbert deliberately suppressed technology in his Dune universe so he could address the politics of humanity, rather than the future of humanity’s technology. The story addresses the politics of humans and is a timeless reflection that can be set in any time period (Dune just happens to be set in a futuristic sci-fi universe).
