Dune by Frank Herbert is a seminal science fiction novel set in a distant future where noble houses vie for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of “spice”—a powerful substance that enhances mental abilities and enables space travel. The story follows young Paul Atreides, whose family is given control of Arrakis but soon becomes embroiled in betrayal and conflict. Paul must navigate political intrigue, survive in the harsh desert with the native Fremen, and fulfill a destiny that could transform the galaxy. Dune explores themes of power, ecology, religion, and human potential, and has become one of the most influential works in science fiction.
