http://schema.org/description
- ""Frank Herbert wrote six novels now referred as The Dune Chronicles. This book culls from the pages of The Chronicles the politics, religion and communicology of Dune--the underlying philosophy that motivates the characters to action. The purpose of the book is to unpack Herbert's ideas, and to find a place for them in our lives, learning, knowledge and wisdom. Herbert gives us the Mentat, or human computer, as an emblem of his creation; the author seeks here to learning from Dune's uncommon wisdom the Mentat's way of perception. He seeks to interpret these Chronicles in the terms of these times, and within the purview of the philosophy of communication and cultural studies."--Publisher's website."
