Throughout Frank Herbert's "Dune" series, the theme of prediction is central. The very fabric of the civilization he presents is built on "prescience." Strange, monstrous beings known as Guild Navigators guide humanity's ships through the void of space, using their ability to predict the future to shape it into something else. The central characters, Paul and Leto, are both extremely gifted oracles, cursed with the knowledge of the future and burdened with helping Humanity escape the tyranny of prediction.
