Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Critic reviews
"Rich fare...Heady stuff." ( Los Angeles Times)
Featured Article: Dune (2021)—Book vs. Movie
The very first book to win the Nebula Award, Frank Herbert's Dune has long been a fixture of the sci-fi world. It's no surprise, then, that yet another filmmaker has taken a stab at bringing this classic to the screen. The latest effort, by Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve, captures the first half of the epic novel. The reviews have been generally positive, with critics and audiences blown away by the scale and sheer ambition of the adaptation. Overall, Villeneuve's 2021 adaptation of Herbert's sci-fi classic is quite faithful. But in what small ways does the film differ from the book?

Arrakis è il pianeta più inospitale della galassia. Una landa di sabbia e rocce popolata da mostri striscianti e sferzata da tempeste devastanti. Ma sulla sua superficie cresce il melange, la sostanza che dà agli uomini la facoltà di aprire i propri orizzonti mentali, conoscere il futuro, acquisire le capacità per manovrare le immense astronavi che garantiscono gli scambi tra i mondi e la sopravvivenza stessa dell'Impero. Sul saggio Duca Leto, della famiglia Atreides, ricade la scelta dell'Imperatore per la successione ai crudeli Harkonnen al governo dell'ambito pianeta.

In the far future, humankind has made contact with numerous other species - and has helped to form the ConSentiency to govern between the species. After suffering under a tyrannous pure democracy that had the power to create laws so fast that no thought could be given to the effects, the sentients of the galaxy found a need for the Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab) to slow the wheels of government, thereby preventing it from legislating recklessly.

Story
Public Law 10927 was clear and direct. Parents were permitted to watch the genetic alterations of their gametes by skilled surgeons...only no one ever requested it. When Lizbeth and Harvey Durant decided to invoke the Law, when Dr. Potter did not rearrange the most unusual genetic structure of their future son, barely an embryo growing in the State's special vat---the consequences of these decisions threatened to be catastrophic.

Story
Santaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something...different...about Santaroga. Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer, or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger....

Must be a Dune fan
When asked my favorite book, I answer Dune. I understand that it is not everyone's cup of tea.
Of the series, God Emperor is my favorite and this audiobook brought forth other aspects to consider. I enjoy contemplating Frank Herbert's writings.
If you have interest, please be sure to have checked out the others prior to this in the series: Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune.

Great performance but no chapters
Performances are stellar and of course the story is as well. However the audiobook needs chapter separations, as it’s just one long file now.

Enhanced my love for Dune
If you could sum up God Emperor of Dune in three words, what would they be?
Serve Your God
What did you like best about this story?
I love how profoundly philosophical is this whole series. It's not just a masterpiece of science fiction but an astute commentary on the nature humanity.
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I got so much out of the book that this is hard to answer but I felt perhaps a little more intensely the feelings of the Lord Leto. Simon Vance really was able to evoke emotions that are more intense than from reading print. The 'love' scene between Leto and Hwi was actually read by a different voice actor who also did a very good job.
I didn't like how raspy Simon Vance made the voice of Leto the worm, but felt that it forced me to face that the character was not a youthful human boy as we left in him Children of Dune.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I never thought it would be easy to serve God.
Any additional comments?
I'm listening to Heretics now also read by Simon Vance. Love it. Love the whole series.

A profound example of the value of a told story
Read the book, and you certainly experience a profoundly alien viewpoint and a story that is both epic and deeply personal.
Listen to Simon, Scott, and Katherine read it to you, and the personal dimension deepens further without eliminating the epic. The book is reputed to have originally been written entirely in the first person, and later rewritten into its current third person limited form, with the chapter quotations from the Stolen Journals retaining the original subjectivity. As a narrated story, you really feel the subjective, emotional nature of this story.
The narration of this entire series sets the gold standard. The narrators all take their material seriously, and seem to understand it. With Herbert, that's not easy!

Gripping me till the end
Something about this book kept me gripped and hooked till the last minute. Probably because this was the first book where I had no prior knowledge of, unlike the preceding books to this point. Overall a great book that gives much introspection.

The best book in the series thus far.
I knew this one was favorite when the book ended. I was sad as if a friend or a coworker had moved away and I was left to carry on.
I restarted it and I'm about half way through again......so good.
