Ever since the latest Dune adaptation came out it's been like the thing for booktubers, booktokkers, etc., to talk about how much they hate the book.
Now, Dune is literally my favorite book. I've read it so many times. I am in love with it. Not so in love with the son's additions to series, but that's a whole vitriolic rant that I don't want to get into right now.
Anyway, despite how much I love it, I absolutely do not fault people for not liking it. I can see why people would dislike the characters, would find the plot boring, think the political structure is confusing. I don't agree with those criticisms, but whatever. You don't have to like what I like. It's fine.
What isn't fine is the amount of people talking about how they hate it when they clearly didn't try to engage with it in good faith. I mean, they are really people out there saying that it lacks depth, that there's very little worldbuilding, that the characters are one-dimensional.... Honey, I don't know what you read, but it sure as hell wasn't Dune
(I got a little artsy for the promo videos and wanted to share...) PATHWAY TO THE STARS: PART 2, ELIZA WILLIAMS is the second in the space opera booklet series, PATHWAY TO THE STARS. "We need to understand how dark energy and dark matter work, find ways to slow down the expansion or cause the Universe to breathe just enough to protect itself and all of life along with it. We need everyone who is willing." ~ Yesha Alevtina talking with Eliza Williams The story continues, Experience the early life of our future scientific and political hero, Eliza Williams, and the beginning of a new era! Vesha Celeste continues her training and journey with Yesha Alevtina, who shows and teaches her about Eliza Williams, through complete experiential immersion in the Virtual Universe. With the added advantages of time-dilation, neural linking, and nano-technology giving her tactile-reference, she sees Eliza’s life as if she were Eliza, herself. Vesha witnesses the critical aspects that lead to Eliza’s transformation and the formation of Pathway LLC. Eliza’s work to create the first biopods for physiological and neurological optimizations will be one of her primary vehicles to drive all of her advances and designs, solar-system-wide. There is a lot for Vesha to learn, and she too will play an integral role in our journeys throughout the cosmos, as this story progresses. Each ability she experiences in others, her optimized mind will be capable of learning and expounding upon exponentially. Enjoy the second part of this space opera booklet series, as we see our team of heroes doing what they can to help humanity in their quest to save the Universe one very-important step at a time.

Further Than Before: Pathway to the Stars, Tome
This gigantic manuscript consists of the stories in both “Further Than Before: Pathway to the Stars, Part 1 and Part 2” compiled into a gigantic scholarly text, called the "Tome." For Eliza and her crew of friends, it is a race against time to meet new cultures, preserve life, and share our legacies with distant civilizations, so we can span the Cosmos and go further than before! Purchase this eBook or HEFT this TOME in the printed format and enjoy the entire original Space Opera! The "Further Than Before" series, subtitled "Pathway to the Stars," consists of all of the stories in an abridged format, ready for people to see what happens before each of the more detailed "Pathway to the Stars" series booklets are released, and is available in a Part 1 and Part 2, which are in-turn compiled into a gigantic scholarly text, called the "Tome." Eliza Williams, Yesha Alevtina, James Cooper, Vesha Celeste, Sky Taylor and a host of friendly heroes tackle some of the greatest dilemmas of the day to bring humanity out and into the stars bearing a legacy we would be proud to share with other civilizations--a legacy of kindness, of mind-to-mind communication, of love, and of healing instead of harming. If we are to overcome the great expansion and the death of all life, we must overcome the smaller challenges to progress and focus on even greater ones. Eliza and her team work diligently to speed the pace of society in her world with the belief that beauty and untold potential are within every being. If we find ways to bring that out in ourselves and others, a future where we can breed longevity, a collective and high quality of life, augment the clarity of our minds, and innovate to span the Cosmos may be in our grasp. Within the organization Eliza founded, called Pathway, she and her team takes us on a fantastical and near-Utopian journey to get us out and into the farthest reaches of space, as we advance further than we have before, to make this happen. There are dilemmas such as the need for longevity and the ability to visit loved ones following long journeys, and they put in place the capabilities to overcome the effects of space travel on our physiology and neurology. We journey as Eliza, and her growing crew of friends, are determined to stabilize a rocky economy, wipe away undue suffering, violence, disease, terrorism, and trafficking in persons. They work together to tame seismic activity, weather, and fires. She and her friends tackle ways to prevent extinction and provide solutions to quality of life concerns. They even consider the longevity of our Sun and our Earth's capacity to preserve life. Eliza tackles each of these issues to get us out, and into the stars, so we can begin our biggest quest--to help our Universe breathe ever so lightly. Allowing it to expand and contract ever so gently, may allow us to preserve its life as well as all of life, allowing us to maximize our mental capacity. With intellect, experience, perspective, kindness, and graciousness we will have the ability to gain more wisdom leading to longevity and clarity of mind. For Eliza and her crew of friends, it is a race against time to meet new civilizations, preserve life, share our legacies, and go further than before!
