@HeerJeet Dune has fewer sources than it seems like it would. Jack Vance, game theory, and MAD though, there's more to work with.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet I lectured on this a bit when I taught a class on Arabs in science fiction, but I was mostly talking out of my ass. -
