    This might be controversial, but the new Denis Villeneuve movies are much better than the book. Maybe watch the movies and read the book or trawl the wiki after for more context.

      They’re definitely better entertainment pound-for-pound. I’d contend that the book gives you a lot more to think about, so it really depends what you’re after. I like them both a lot–I think they complement each other very nicely.

      I’d compare it to The Lord of the Rings books vs the movies. The Movies are a great abridged series and they know what pacing is, but the books explain so much more and have several extra movies worth of cut content.
