Without spoiling, it challenges your entire conception about what consciousness and life are. It's definitely an Event Horizon kind of horror mind fuck that sucks you in. (Except it's a book so that feeling continues for days lol)

I never read any Dune. Always wanted to. My mom picked up the first one for me, used, somewhere, when I was little, and I stared at it on the shelf for decades.

Will put it on the list to read after!

Dune seems tricky to read as a child/teenager, it starts to get philosophical as the story goes on.
