Dune
The emperor hands the desert planet Arrakis, sole source of the spice that makes interstellar travel possible, to House Atreides and its teenage heir, in a transfer engineered by the rivals it displaces. Betrayed and driven into the sand, the boy finds a people awaiting a prophesied leader their own belief was seeded to expect. The first to take both the Hugo and the Nebula, and the founding text of ecological science fiction.
