I had a shower thought last night that it would be cool if Dune or some of those older classics had a modern ramake applied across the books to revamp them and update them with what we know now in terms of technology, our ability to imagine and make the style of writing more palatable to younger/new audiences.

I had a couple of friends try read the dune books and said they really struggled with the style of writing and English.

Is this a dumb thought lol

    Mary Shelley rewrote Frankenstein in 1831, making it a bit more “mass market”.

    Leslie Charteris used to rewrite every Saint book before republication to make them more topical (which I guess just infuriate the collectors of his work).

    It happens a lot.
