| <span id="1">1</span> ||  2023-09-13 16:27 || Announcements || Dune: Awakening || https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009464719012278423/1151539765263474798 || Sleepers,

What do you say we go back to where it all began?

Almost 60 years ago, Frank Herbert wrote a book called Dune. It was turned away by over twenty publishers before finally being picked up by a publisher mainly known for auto repair manuals. Sadly, the editor’s risk didn’t pay off as the book sold poorly, and he was fired. However, thanks to word-of-mouth, knowledge of the book soon began to spread. By the next year, it had won a Hugo and a Nebula award.

Since then, Dune has become one of science and political fiction’s all time greats. It’s quoted as the best-selling sci-fi novel of all time, and has inspired countless people with its philosophy, rich world, and epic scope. 
Seeing that many of you were considering reading it for the first time, or had just started it, we had an idea. To better understand and appreciate the classic that inspired Dune: Awakening and Villeneuve’s movies, we decided to start a book club of our own and read the first book together with you all!

Just like a Book Club that gathers in a local cafeteria or around a cozy fireplace, we’ll meet every two weeks here on the Dune: Awakening Discord and discuss the part we’ve read.

For those of you who might not have the book, we’ll be giving away Kindle eBooks! If you reside in the United States and would like a chance to win, send a message with why you want to read Dune in the ⁠dune-book-club channel! We’ll reach out to winners next week, so make sure to keep an eye on your notifications! You’ll need an Amazon/Kindle account to receive your eBook.

We’ll share the section that will be read and run a poll to determine the best date for the discussion in the ⁠dune-book-club channel.

Sleepers, it’s time we learned more about Dune and Arrakis – together. Spread the word and invite your friends to our Discord today!
