I would like us to explore some concepts and ideas. And I'll be following a rough foundation set by Frank Herbert's Dune series. There will be more to it than that, but that is the basic platform I'm working from. The first thing in the beginning is to ask the question: “why? And why is an interesting question. As Douglas Adams wrote, why is so important it has its own letter. Why explore these ideas? Why Dune? Why would I attempt to do this? The best answer is to say keep following the podcast, 'cuz it'll be a short series if I can totally answer that right now. The answers to all three aren't separate. And so I will present an brief overview. Brief is relative, there's a
