Original Note:
Although Frank Herbert may have used spice to predict the future, “Dune” couldn’t have referenced the Soviet-Afghan War because the book was published in 1965, a full 14 years before the war began. Furthermore, the Taliban would not form until the 1990s. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dune-frank-herbert/1100608835 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet–Afghan_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban
