![]() ![]() Duncan Idaho is still around, albeit in ghola form – and a child ghola at that. It’s a step in the right direction, granted, but a good book this is not.Īs with the previous book, Heretics of Dune introduces an entirely new cast, with one notable exception. We have characters! We have plot! Unfortunately, neither of these is enough to make up for how little I enjoyed this book. With this book, Frank Herbert has written a novel rather than an essay. Heretics of Dune is an improvement on its predecessor for one simple reason. An enemy that finds its roots shockingly close to home. But now the ancient order of the Bene Gesserit face a new enemy who may throw all into chaos once more. Long after the death of the Tyrant Leto Atreides, the human race still follows his Golden Path.

Many of these solutions demonstrate what Kolbert terms “the recursive logic of the Anthropocene,” which understands our current attempts to fix the environment as correctives to our previous attempts to fix the environment. Published earlier this year, Elizabeth Kolbert’s latest book, Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future, synthesizes some of the most cutting-edge (and, often, controversial) climate solutions currently in development. ![]() ![]() ![]() During this time, she notes, urban expansion and increased economic opportunity fostered the social and political aspirations of a new "middle class" of merchants, professionals, and minor clerics. ![]() Bilinkoff takes as her subject the period during which Avila became a center of intense religious activity and the home of a number of influential mystics and religious reformers.

McWhorter is well aware that his arguments may be dismissed out of hand, but he is cogent and forthright in his discussions. It demands adherence to positions that one must accept on faith or else be treated as heretical (i.e., “problematic”). At the core of McWhorter’s critique is his claim that wokism (or “Electism,” as he wants us to call it) has literally become a religion. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo have made so popular in recent years. Flying in the face of mainstream liberal orthodoxy, McWhorter writes in unapologetic opposition to the brand of anti-racism that authors like Ibram X.
