Plus Dune isn't like... The OG science fiction.

Herbert borrowed ideas from Asimov/Heinlein constantly, his concepts of humans achieving mental powers were in short stories written decades earlier. "project nightmare" by RAH for example includes ESP (extra sensory perception) operators who are able to do things such as remote viewing and suppression/detonation of nuclear weapons.

All stories borrow, even if the similarities are actually good and not just crap like "well they both have sand planets."
