Does anyone know of a nice visual explanation of the story?

I've read the first book and half of messiah, but I have a hard time visualizing what's happening. (Aphantasia)

Is there a youtube series you know about that explains the story in under a couple hours?

Check out the part one video of Ultimate Guide To Dune by Quinn's Ideas on Youtube. I would link to it here, but when I try that it doesn't save the comment.

Edit: Ooh, it let me comment finally! Here's a link to the video. It summarizes all 6 of Frank Herbert's novels in a very visual way using artwork and movie stills over 30 minutes.

Note: if you want to stop around where the Part 1 movie finished, stop around the 9:08 mark. For the end of the Dune novel, stop around the 9:20 mark.

After listening to 1/3 of Dune on audiobook, visualizing has been much easier.

Listening about a week after reading also helps

Edit: ouf I tried to comment after seeing your post yesterday. Finally was able through your reply

The problems with commenting might have been my fault in how I set up the languages of the community. Apparently you need to have 'Underground' selected in addition to 'English'. Should be fixed now. My apologies.

When you’re done (at least passed God Emperor), I also recommend the Dune videos by Alt Shift X!
