The Rules

The original book finds itself in a science fiction genre only because anything with spaceships and technology is placed there. For all practical purposes though, it’s a space fantasy.

In other words, complaining about science of Dune is like complaining about poetic meter of a tax report - something you do only with the closest of friends.
