This might be controversial, but the new Denis Villeneuve movies are much better than the book. Maybe watch the movies and read the book or trawl the wiki after for more context.
I’d compare it to The Lord of the Rings books vs the movies. The Movies are a great abridged series and they know what pacing is, but the books explain so much more and have several extra movies worth of cut content.
They’re definitely better entertainment pound-for-pound. I’d contend that the book gives you a lot more to think about, so it really depends what you’re after. I like them both a lot–I think they complement each other very nicely.
Some aspects of it. “The voice” is basically jedi mind tricks. People that are attuned also get visions/senses of foreboding about the future. There’s no telekinetic stuff as far as I know.
I don’t know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?
Yeah
Interesting, maybe I’ll read the book. I’m trying to read more

It definitely has aspects that could be considered magic, but I wouldn’t necessarily compare them to the Force.
No. But it has drugs that make you accurately predict the near and far future. And turn you into an immortal worm eventually.
Not immortal, just long-lived and thick skinned
True. My apologies. I fell for imperial propaganda for a moment.
The voice… Prana-bindu, there’s others, but spoilers ahoy.
Yeah.
Tap for spoiler
But non of it is magic. More like crazy mastery of your own body to a degree that it seems like magic.
