Whew, in that case I may just save my time and dive into Harsh Mistress instead. Dune has satisfied my messiah needs for the foreseeable future. The time capsule element is an important consideration and I certainly appreciate it for what it’s worth as I’ve gotten older. I had always questioned if I simply started off on the wrong foot with Heinlein or if it really is just a bit more arduous for modern readers that have a different set of itches to scratch.
