Dune context

There are lot of hyperbolic, interesting things being written about Dune right now, but none come close to this detailed, scholarly essay on Tor.com. I even learned a new word reading it: conlanger.

Sure, I picked up on the Muslim/Middle Eastern flavor of the Fremen and Arrakis, but this essay reveals a whole new level. Who knew?
