I greatly enjoyed the first Dune novel in my youth, enough to read more 
than once, less so the follow-ups, and I never got past the fourth. The 
first novel is still a fond memory, but I am a little concerned that as 
I think back on it now it's the flaws that come to mind -- Drugs make 
you see the future (very '60s)? Your genes carry the memories of all 
your ancestors?

I realize that all science fiction suffers from the same problem, but it 
drives home to me the fact that our vision of the future is determined 
more by our own culture and vales than by true insight into the shape of 
things to come.
