The Winds of Dune

I'm curious about the creative process behind continuing such an iconic series. Did the story evolve from previous plots or was it a new direction from the start?

The focus on environmental balance and survival made me think differently about the planet's future. How did these themes influence your reading experience?

The characters' destinies seem intertwined with larger forces, but also with personal choices. Did this balance feel satisfying or conflicted to others?
