‘Dune’ is a 1965 science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert. The writer, who was very interested in ecology, was inspired by a US Department of Agriculture program to to stabilize shift sands along the Pacific Ocean by introducing European beach grass.
The Guardian wrote about ‘Dune’ 50 years later in 2015, saying that many consider it to be greatest sci fi ever written. This single paragraph will get you started:
‘Dune ‘is set in a far future, where warring noble houses are kept in line by a ruthless galactic emperor. As part of a Byzantine political intrigue, the noble duke Leto, head of the Homerically named House Atreides, is forced to move his household from their paradisiacal home planet of Caladan to the desert planet Arrakis, colloquially known as Dune. The climate on Dune is frighteningly hostile.
