Dune (Movie Tie-In) (Dune Chronicles- Book 1)
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Chang Chen, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem. & Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time. & A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive. & & & ★《沙丘》首部曲電影於2021.9.16台灣上映★ & 啟發《星際大戰》、《駭客任務》，《風之谷》、世界地球日 無數文學、生態、社會、大眾娛樂作品的發想起源 & 生命的神袐並不是要解決的問題，而是必須經歷的現實 & 沙丘，一顆極度乾燥的沙漠星球，人類必須穿著蒸餾服，回收身體散發的水分。水是沙漠子民信仰的中心，也是星球上意涵最豐富的詞彙，為死者落淚是這顆星球上最神聖、令人敬畏的行為。 & 嚴苛環境決定了星球獨特的生態、生命觀和信仰，但比水更具影響力的，是星球上獨一無二的珍貴物產——香料。 & 原來人類在戰勝機器人之後，宗教立下嚴規，「汝等不得造出機器去假冒人類思維」。於是過了一萬多年，在這個沒有電腦的未來世界，有人變異出電腦的運算力，也有人投身肌肉與神經的極致修練，低科技使得人類只能專注於自身的潛能開發。但帝國真正的命脈是香料——星際運輸全賴領航員服用香料去延伸大腦意識，透過預知找出最安全的航線，皇室、貴族乃至富人及中產階級也靠香料延年益壽。 & 香料的交易，決定了星際金融及宇宙秩序。因此即使明知政敵及皇帝居心叵測，亞崔迪公爵仍毅然率領家族離開卡樂丹星，接下這座險惡的新封地。 & 然而在星球上迎接亞崔迪家族的，不只有環環相扣的政敵陰謀，還有神出鬼沒的巨型沙蟲、因代代受壓迫而異常排外的沙漠子民，公爵之子保羅更在踏上沙丘後感應到體內有某種東西正在覺醒——歷時數千代的基因計畫、激昂的救世主信仰、神袐的沙漠生態、雄心萬丈的行星改造計畫、吉凶難測的香料靈啟，看似相關及不相關的一切，都交會在保羅身上。 & 保羅的出現，是宇宙億萬人類的幸，還是不幸……
