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

    Dickens was made to remove antisemitic language from Oliver Twist over the years.

    In India, ancient Sanskrit-language epics like the Ramayana were rewritten and reimagined in vernacular languages during the mediaeval ages. (these weren’t just simple translations)
