This book by Frank Herbert came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Dan Kokotov. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Fourth book in the Dune series. Takes place 3500 years after the events of the original trilogy. Tells the story of Leto, the son of Paul Atreides, who has traded his humanity to become an immortal sandworm of Dune.
“the third greatest is the god emperor of doom so i'm i'm a huge fan of the whole uh series”— Dan Kokotov
