Destination: Void

Destination: Void • Frank Herbert

⭑ 8.1 Stars

Having finished the Dune series a few months ago, I’ve been itching to return to Frank Herbert’s mind, and this book turned out to be the best place to begin that journey. I could write paragraphs about the intricacy of his plots, but what I find most remarkable is Herbert’s ability to explore a topic in such vivid detail across multiple universes and stories. In this book, he once again begins a quest to define consciousness (as he did many times in Dune), but with this effort does so in a way that feels eerily familiar to our modern day progress. Not only is Frank Herbert one of the best writers I’ve ever read, but it’s clear to me that he had a unique ability to predict the future.
