The best character is indeed the desert, I totally agree. And the sand worms!
I think I read the sequels at some point, but I have wholesale repressed them, I'm pretty sure.
I do have a weird memory love of the dual aesthetic of Blade Runner and Dune and the weird steampunky retrofuture they both created that overshadowed so much of SF in the following decades... But it says a lot when the imaginary future is more steeped in the past then the present, doesn't it? [Thinking of an early Harry Potter analysis here that connected the wizarding world to 19th century nostalgia and its correlated ideologies!]
There is not enough speed control on this device. I love that comment. I don't speed up quite as much as you do, but I do come across stories where I just give up beyond they are too slow...even with speed control :)
