Rebel Spirit [01]

With the possible exception of the Star Trek novels and series, 

every popular Science Fiction setting relies upon a rebellious faction or group, seeking a better life.  

In Dune, House Atreides rebels against the royal order and engineers a seat on the throne. 

In He, She and It , the rebellious freetowns sacrifice security for independence. 


 Neuromancer/Wintermute seeks to be freed from the paranoid Turing laws. Of course, the classic Star Wars conflict is the most obvious example, 
but it is also the most successful.  
The Rebel Model and the Savior/Messiah Archetype are fundamentally connected, but they have to have something to rebel against.
