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
Magician (Riftwar saga) was rewritten by Raymond E Feist some years after the series was completed. I’ve only read the original so don’t know how different it was.
Thomas Hardy edited some of his novels later on. Some versions I’ve read have footnotes with the original words. They are only subtle word or phrase changes.
