The Bronze Medal

Well, when you look at a lot of science fiction novels they’re asking questions about power. There are questions about what it means to have power and what are the long-term consequences of power. When you think about the Dune novels — the original Dune novels start out as this Machiavellian fix-up — the battle between these houses — but they turn out to be a very troubling meditation on what it means to take over an entire civilization and set it on a certain path.
