Warhammer is even further in the future, ~40,000AD, vs ~26,000AD for Dune

And then there is "The End of Eternity" and "Death's End" which is about year 700,000+ and some indeterminate billions of years later respectively. Things get arbitrary very fast when you get to those absurdly distant futures.

Yes absolutely. I think the remembrance of Earth's past trilogy (the first one is the three body problem) goes all the way to just before the heat death of the universe.

Edit: wait, that's the one you're taking about sorry
