Dune (franchise)
''Dune'' is a soft science fiction franchise that originated with the 1965 novel ''Dune'' by Frank Herbert. ''Dune'' is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history. It won the 1966 Hugo Award〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hugo Awards: 1966 )〕 and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel, and was later adapted into a 1984 film as well as a 2000 television miniseries. Herbert wrote five sequels, and the first two were presented as a miniseries in 2003. The ''Dune'' universe has also inspired some traditional games and a series of video games. Since 2009, the names of planets from the ''Dune'' novels have been adopted for the real-world nomenclature of plains and other features on Saturn's moon Titan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature: Titan Planitiae )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature: Titan Labyrinthi )〕
Frank Herbert died in 1986. Beginning in 1999, his son Brian Herbert and science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson have published a number of prequel novels, as well as two which complete the original ''Dune'' series—''Hunters of Dune'' (2006) and ''Sandworms of Dune'' (2007)—partially based on Frank Herbert's notes discovered a decade after his death.
The political, scientific, and social fictional setting of Herbert's novels and derivative works is known as the ''Dune'' universe, or ''Duniverse''. Set tens of thousands of years in the future, the saga chronicles a civilization which has banned artificial intelligence but has also developed advanced technology and mental and physical abilities. Vital to this empire is the harsh desert planet Arrakis, only known source of the spice melange, the most valuable substance in the universe.
Due to the similarities between some of Herbert's terms and ideas and actual words and concepts in the Arabic language—as well as the series' "Islamic undertones" and themes—a Middle Eastern influence on Herbert's works has been noted repeatedly.
