God Emperor of Dune Worm Question

God Emperor of Dune is probably one of the greatest science fiction books I've never read. It's full of profound philosophical questions that remain relevant to this day. Such as "would you love me if I were a worm?"

A woman standing in a desert praises God Emperor of Dune as a profound science-fiction book, then gives “would you love me if I were a worm?” as an example of its philosophical questions. The joke contrasts serious literary analysis with a silly relationship question, making it useful as a reaction to exaggerated intellectualizing.
