Revolutionary Moderation

Freedom to Read



To celebrate Freedom to Read week, I've restarted reading a series of books about a leader of a planet of desert-dwellers who battle against a more technically advanced and numerically overwhelming military force. The desert-dwellers have only their religious convictions as they begin their jihad against those who only want control of the planet for its major natural resource, required for the operation of spaceships.



It's Dune. But it seems as fresh right now as it possibly could, and if you buy it online, you'll probably go on some sort of list.
