Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert wrote Dune, the best-selling science fiction novel of all time and the foundation of an epic ecological and political saga. His world-building was extraordinarily detailed, drawing on ecology, religion, politics, and sociology to create the desert planet Arrakis. The Dune series remains one of the most complex and beloved in all of science fiction.
