Dune Series PHD Episode 12 Gholas, Axlotl Tanks and Artificial Melange
Channel: Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station
Date: 2021-09-27

In this episode we take a look at the evolution of the Tleilaxu Axlotl tanks and the gholas that they produce. What the Axlotl tanks actually are is a little shocking, and the gholas that they produce, a copy of an individual created from a cadavers' cells, allow for an exploration of individual unconscious memory going back thousands of years.
Axlotl tanks allow for the creation of twisted mentats and in particular, the creation of the Duncan Idaho ghola, Hayt, and his many subsequent reincarnations throughout the series.
This technology also evolves to allow ultimately for the creation of artificial melange, once and for all ending the monopoly of melange and Arrakis.
We take a look at how these three technologies evolve throughout Frank Herbert's Dune Series.
