Dune laid the foundations for a great deal of the themes and constructs in modern science fiction. Frank Herbert isn't kidding around when it comes to this book. This is a serious effort at predicting how our world is going to look two thousand years from now.
The setting of the book is futuristic and the plot is driven by political mind games. The issues he tackles is parallel to that of our modern problems in society. Herbert's genius manifests itself in his ability to combine the past, the present and the future in one novel called Dune.
