Some writers build worlds. Others birth entire universes. In
the decades since its publication, Frank Herbert’s Dune has
become arguably the best-selling and certainly the best-known
science fiction novel ever written. So how did an ex-Navy
newspaperman from Washington State come to write such a
world-conquering novel? And how was he able to pack it with so many
layers of myth and meaning? Herbert’s boundless
imagination was sparked by a dizzying array of ideas, from
classical history to cutting-edge science, from environmentalism to
Zen philosophy, and from Arabic texts to Shakespeare’s tragedies.
Beginning on Arrakis and going planet by planet, The
Worlds of Dune offers a supremely deep dive into Herbert's universe
– detailing along the way the many diverse strands that he wove
into his epic creation to offer a visually rich accompaniment
to this sci-fi legend.
