A library planet: the
greatest treasure, the deadliest weapon Earth has become a library planet over the last several thousand years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge—esoterica of all types: history, science, politics—gathered by teams of "pack rats" who scour the
galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth,
and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the
course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the
lawful government—and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge
they have collected over the millennia.

The stories were amalgamated in the bestselling novel Dune in 1965.
