Absolutely - I honestly think Dune and Dune Messiah should be sold as one book.

Well aside from the time it totally bricked my system, it pretty good.

Okaaaay, just because you've brought it up.....

Transporters in Star Trek are shown to definitely not be duplication machines. "Our Man Bashir" (DS9) is probably the most definitive proof of that.

Personally, I think transporter technology explains the staunch atheist (but still open-minded and sometimes spiritualist) Federation mindset: they know that their entire being can be reduced to a matter/energy stream. The transporter makes a devastating philosophical challenge to the idea of a "soul." Which is, ironically, why so many Federation officers refuse to accept anything that challenges that assumption (VOY "Sacred Ground").

Yeah dawg that's ... the entire point of the Engels piece - "authoritarianism" is a meaningless buzzword.

Tom Paris literally broke spacetime and did direct action to save a water planet.

Is there any question?
