If you're going to pay more attention to sf, then you've got to consider dune
by frank herbert which won the hugo and nebula awards in the '60s. It's
about the desert in the same way the Israleites spent 40 years in the desert and
Jesus spent 40 days in the desert. It's all about ecology and evolution and
religion and is probably closer to the truth of how religion works in this
world than any fiction piece will ever get. The truth that herbert wrote in
this fiction epic is the same truth Kevin MacDonald reveals in the MacDonald
trilogy which came 30/40 years later.
Please get the image of the dilaurentis production out of your mind - it was
a poor rendering.
