Entire Life of Spacing Guild from Dune – Mutant Humans Who Monopolized Space Travel for 15,000 Years
2,800One of the most integral parts of the Dune-iverse is the fact that interstellar travel is as close to instantaneous as it gets. Technology is one of the fundamental considerations every novelist has to grapple with when creating their fictional worlds. Fantasy can get away with stranding its characters in medieval settings, but science fiction requires technological advancement as a baseline consideration. Frank Herbert found a great way of circumventing the need to get into complex machine language by making his world’s society live in the Middle Ages while having technology that far surpasses anything we possess, and the crowning jewel of this circumvention was the Spacing Guild.
