With its richly detailed universe, political intrigue, and environmental themes, Dune redefined the genre and inspired generations of writers and filmmakers. Beyond his most famous work, Herbert was a journalist, photographer, and thinker who explored complex ideas about power, survival, and human nature. Join us as we take a five-minute journey through the life of the man who created a sci-fi masterpiece that continues to shape popular culture.
