Herbert family through Herbert Properties LLC [b]; with an additional license to Legendary EntertainmentHerbert's interest in the desert setting of Dune and its challenges is attributed to research he began in 1957 for a never-completed article about a United States Department of Agriculture experiment using poverty grasses to stabilize damaging sand dunes, which could "swallow whole cities, lakes, rivers, and highways." [30] Herbert spent the next five years researching, writing, and revising what would eventually become the novel Dune, [30] which was initially serialized in Analog magazine as two shorter works, Dune World (1963) and The Prophet of Dune (1965). [31] The serialized version was expanded and reworked—and rejected by more than 20 publishers—before being published by Chilton Books, a printing house best known for its auto repair manuals, in 1965. [32] Dune won the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1966, and the 1966 Hugo Award. [33] [34] The novel has been translated into dozens of languages, and has sold almost 20 million copies. [35] Dune has been regularly cited as one of the world's best-selling science fiction novels. [1] [2] The first part of Denis Villeneuve’s movie adaptation was received exceptionally well by both audiences and critics, indicating that Dune may have finally achieved a breakthrough in pop culture to match Tolkien. This was helped by a star-studded and devoted cast made up of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Oscar Isacc, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and many more. This is sure to be repeated with the release of Part Two on November 3, 2023. The film will see the addition of actors like Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, and more. But new fans coming to the books by way of Villeneuve's films may struggle to find the proper starting place. There are many more Dune novels than there are for Middle-earth, stretching in two directions in time out from the original Dune book of 1965. Different books cover different conflicts, each with some relation to one another, and then there are all those strange names and terminology to keep straight.

[92] [93] As such, Dune is representative of a general trend beginning in 1960s American science fiction in that it features a character who attains godlike status through scientific means. [94] Frank Herbert said in 1979, "The bottom line of the Dune trilogy is: beware of heroes. Much better [to] rely on your own judgment, and your own mistakes." [95] He wrote in 1985, " Dune was aimed at this whole idea of the infallible leader because my view of history says that mistakes made by a leader (or made in a leader's name) are amplified by the numbers who follow without question."

Here's our advice: read Frank Herbert's six novels first, then dabble in the unauthorized spin-offs however you like. Given that many are grouped into smaller series that exist within the larger story, you can sample bits and pieces of the universe. That's the beauty of the Dune—it's a detailed series that rewards completionism, but the entry points are numerous.
