One of the most terrifying things about Dune is the fact that it rather accurately predicted what the next front of warfare will look like: genetic warfare. In twenty twenty five, gene manipulation is the biggest threat in the theatre of war, because one gene-altering weapon can render an enemy force infertile at best, and terribly mutated at worst. But that’s not something that happens to the products of breeding programmes in the Dune-verse, at least on a physical level. In this video, we will take a look at every breeding programme in Frank Herbert’s creation, and talk about their horrifying histories in detail.
