It's about the colonization of a planet, and the main character is The Chosen One. Expect violence, war, and of course plenty of misogyny - this book is from the 1960s and was written by a man. Some things are simply offensive.wispy_reviews's review against another edition

Case in Point, the matriarchal society of badass, kung-fu, gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss space witches require a man to be their chosen one…
All that said, Dune is a revolutionary piece of fiction that changed everything. The weirdness of pulp streamlined into one of the greatest stories I’ve ever seen, a tragedy of power and hubris for the ages.
