Course Info/Introduction


SandwormWelcome! Frank Herbert's masterpiece Dune is the best selling Science Fiction book of all time. Towards the end of the course you'll learn more about his motivation for writing the book and what he hoped to accomplish.

In the meantime, this course will provide you with plenty of opportunity to think and make connections to the real world and your own life. Writing Science Fiction allows an author to write about the real word without having to name specific people, groups, governments, etc. It allows the reader to reflect upon their own time, life and location without feeling like he/she is being told what to think or believe. It is up to you to assign meaning from the text in your own world. This class is a great opportunity to see the interconnectedness of so many different systems and peoples that it has the potential to be a very eye-opening experience.
