I had a shower thought last night that it would be cool if Dune or some of those older classics had a modern ramake applied across the books to revamp them and update them with what we know now in terms of technology, our ability to imagine and make the style of writing more palatable to younger/new audiences.
I had a couple of friends try read the dune books and said they really struggled with the style of writing and English.
Is this a dumb thought lol
I don’t think either of the reasons you suggest as being worthy of “updating” a book are actually good reasons at all. Dune was not trying to predict future technology. Its language is a major part of its character. These aspects are true for all books.
