Walter's _The Sexual Cycle of Human Warfare_ is the hardest book I've ever gotten. It took me over a decade. It's no wonder that despite huge impact on Dune, analyses like
@timoreilly's or Touponce just omit Walter entirely - can't get copies! Well, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 fixed now... -
Even just skimming it, I can see echoes of Walter in Frank Herbert everywhere. It's wrong of course, but like Jungian psychiatry, it's as good literature as it is bad science. (Oddly, Walter's approach also reminds me of
@robinhanson a lot.) -
dune is a masterpiece. full of nuance and subtlety... it's hard to find a comparable book
-
I've always thought that _Dune Messiah_ was better. :) But one of the reasons it's hard to find a comparable book is that FH's other books were all so much worse! You'd hardly suspect they were written by the same man. With D/DM, FH truly tapped into something special.
