Worried What has Dune influenced

First of all, I just want to say that The Lord of the Rings kicks Harry Potters Hairy a$$. Besides that; I just read Dune and I found that it influenced many movies and books. I would just like to ask what you think Dune, by Frank Herbert has influenced...

How true you are Revantheonly. Dune is the grates scifi Masterpiece its like what LOTR is to Fantasy. BTW have any of you read the whole saga?

I've been trying to read the entire saga but i've gotten to God emperor one of the best philosophical books ever. also i was wondering if any one else has read the prequels by Brian Herbert?

neah..i've tried..they're no good thumb down

god emperor has SOME philosophical achievements..but it's hardly one of the best. In fact..i liked it more AFTER i finished it...and saw how it was with the god emperor FINALLY gone.
the book makes the atmosphere of 'a great deal of time' under his ruling, very real
