The late 1960s and early 1970s saw a revolt against the very American science fiction magazine era, typified by the magazines published under the editorial leadership of John W. Campbell. The mainly British New Wave of science fiction found a home at New Worlds magazine under the editorial leadership of Michael Moorcock, and what followed was a body of work that explored the realms of inner space as much as it did outer space. 
The esoteric nature of Dune, and Campbell's refusal to publish Dune Messiah seemed to lend much to the sensibilities of this revolt across the Atlantic. But Herbert's Dune would remain as seperate from the New Wave as it was from the Golden Age. 
We take a look at the New Wave before getting ready to dive in to the first of our big topics, namely Dune and Evolution.
