Dune

by Frank Herbert

An epic science fiction masterpiece set on the desert planet Arrakis. A complex tale of politics, religion, and ecology.

Geek’s cut

Messiah narratives, ecological warfare, and political game theory on a planet made of anxiety sand. It rewards obsessive re-reading and punishes casual skimming.

Deeper dive

Herbert's magnum opus that combines politics, religion, ecology, and adventure in a richly detailed universe. Dune is considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written.
