背后的故事甚至远不止这些。我读了《沙丘之路》里收录的《他们阻止了流沙》(They Stopped The Moving Sands)初稿,不禁好奇:那个治沙工程后来怎么样了?结果发现,当年他们为了固沙而种植的草,现在已经被视作入侵物种了,而童子军们正靠着拔这些草来赚勋章……
There's more to the story even than that. I read the draft of "They Stopped The Moving Sands" in The Road to Dune and wondered: whatever happened to the dune control project? It turns out that the grasses they planted then to control the dunes are now regarded as invasive species, and Boy Scouts earn merit badges…
如果有其他人也想更多了解《沙丘》(原版小说)的创作历程,我推荐《沙丘之路》(The Road to Dune)。
To anyone else who would enjoy reading more about the creation of Dune (the original novel) I would recommend The Road to Dune.
