I strongly recommend that sci-fi lovers rent or buy Frank Herbert´s Dune Saga. Available in English and Spanish (might be other languages, I´m not sure) you can either read it, the first five books are excellent, or watch it there is the old very personal concept directed by David Lynch and the "new" TV series of Dune and its sequel Children of Dune. In some centuries, the most precious substance in the entire universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life, expands consciousness, allowing users that have mutated through years to travel without moving. It is highly addictive and it only exists in one planet in the whole universe, Arrakis, also known as Dune, for it is a desolate, desert planet. All the great houses in the entire universe, emperor included want to have control of the spice production, space guild, Benne Gesserit sisterhood, etcetera. Nobody is considering the residents of the planet, a strange, savage kind of people known as Fremen. An exciting story, that we could easily compare with what´s happening to planet earth nowadays. Highly recommendable!!
