When Barbara and Adam Maitland die, they come across a sandworm creature that lives on the desert of Saturn in the 1988 Tim Burton film Beetlejuice. On June 27, 2017, something strange and terrible began to ripple out across the infrastructure of the world.

By the time of the events of Dune (1965), humans have been harvesting melange from Arrakis for several thousand years. The indigenous Fremen regard the sandworms as divine, but to everyone else, they are just deadly pests. Few people understand the sandworms' connection to the spice. [3] This is no longer the case by the time of Children of Dune (1976), and numerous groups attempt to smuggle sandworms off Arrakis and transplant them to other planets so as to break the Atreides' monopoly on spice production.

I've been reading a lot of books and articles on the potential for cyberwarfare. The potential is there for even non-state actors to operate in the shadows and do tremendous harm. Then again shutting down most of our industry might solve the global warming worst case scenarios. One apocalypse preventing another. In 2007 in a demonstration at the Idaho National Laboratories 30 lines of code were used to destroy a large generator connected to the grid. Deployed over the internet the code reprogrammed the machine interface to reverse a command which connected the generator to the grid when it was at the correct speed. Instead the code disconnected it sending it spinning wildly then connected it again which forced it to abruptly slow down to the correct speed at which point the commands were repeated. The generator soon flew apart.

The author has talent, that's obvious from his style, but even this talent cannot work around the fact that the story just isn't interesting and compelling enough to be told in a book, and forcing it only creates more problems.

The sandtrout are described as "flat and leathery" in Children of Dune, with Leto II noting that they are "roughly diamond-shaped" with "no head, no extremities, no eyes" and "coarse interlacings of extruded cilia". [18] They can find water unerringly, and squeezing the sandtrout yields a "sweet green syrup". [18] When water is flooded into the sandtrout's excretions, a pre-spice mass is formed; at this "stage of fungusoid wild growth", gases are produced which result in "a characteristic 'blow', exchanging the material from deep underground for the matter on the surface above it". [11] [19] After exposure to sun and air, this mass becomes melange. [19] [11] Tim O'Reilly, ed. (1987). The Maker of Dune: Thoughts of a Science Fiction Master. Berkley Books.
