"Heard that this book is a gem for literal years - finally giving it a read and am already blown away!! Fast, gripping, and the world Gibson made is so fun - somehow feels like the 1980s and the 2280s at the same time" — Dec 01, 2023 07:11AM

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
