This is a huge plot point of a bunch of the later dune books. Based on the comments here, almost no one has actually read them.
- z2h-a6n 5y agoI must admit that I have only read the first book in the Dune series. I've heard that the first is by far the best of the series, and my reading list is long enough as it is, but I shall consider reading more of the series. Anyway, my point was more about ecological conservation in general, and not much about Dune in particular.
- wyager 5y agoI don't think the first book is notably better than the sequels. They're all quite interesting if you're into the wide-ranging categories of thought Herbert pursued (and was generally ahead of his time on).
