In Philip Pullman's trilogies His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust, Dust or Rusakov particles are particles associated with consciousness that are integral to the plot. In the multiverse in which these trilogies are set, Dust is attracted to consciousness, especially after puberty; the Church within the series associates Dust with original sin and seeks its end. Pullman described Dust in an interview as "an analogy of consciousness, and consciousness is this extraordinary property we have as human beings".
“For dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.”
“Whose touch turns hope to dust—the dust we all have trod.”
“And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust”
“Unug's levy was a flood, Kulaba's levy was a clouded sky. As they covered the ground like heavy fog, the dense dust whirled up by them reached up to heaven.”
“Lo, now my glory smear'd in dust and blood!”
