Dune (novel)
Dune is a 1965 science fiction novel by American author Frank Herbert, originally published as two separate serials in "Analog" magazine. It tied with Roger Zelazny's "This Immortal" for the Hugo Award in 1966, and it won the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. It is the first installment of the "Dune" saga, and in 2003 was cited as the world's best-selling science fiction novel. Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which noble houses, in control of individual planets, owe allegiance to the Padishah Emperor, "Dune" tells the story of young Paul Atreides, whose noble family accepts the stewardship of the desert planet Arrakis.
Frank Herbert
Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was an American science fiction writer best known for the novel "Dune" and its five sequels. Though he became famous for science fiction, he was also a newspaper journalist, photographer, short story writer, book reviewer, ecological consultant and lecturer. The "Dune" saga, set in the distant future and taking place over millennia, deals with complex themes such as human survival and evolution, ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, and power. "Dune" itself is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time and the series is widely considered to be among the classics of the genre.
Dune (franchise)
Dune is a science fiction media franchise that originated with the 1965 novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert. "Dune" is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history.

Herbert wrote five sequels, and the first two were presented as a miniseries in 2003. The "Dune" universe has also inspired some traditional games and a series of video games. Since 2009, the names of planets from the "Dune" novels have been adopted for the real-world nomenclature of plains and other features on Saturn's moon Titan.
Organizations of the Dune universe
Multiple organizations of the "Dune" universe dominate the political, religious, and social arena of the fictional setting of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series of science fiction novels, and derivative works. Set tens of thousands of years in the future, the saga chronicles a civilization which has banned computers but has also developed advanced technology and mental and physical abilities through physical training, eugenics and the use of the drug melange. Specialized groups of individuals have aligned themselves in organizations focusing on specific abilities, technology and goals. Herbert's concepts of human evolution and technology have been analyzed and deconstructed in at least one book, "The Science of Dune" (2008).
