I found it by reading the Wikipedia's article on map-territory relation, which I came to know by reading a blog post about Cyberpunk on RibbonFarm. I'm having a blast. The book is a collection of essays in many matters, including anthropology, biology, psychology and others.

It should be noted, the first three books form a trilogy. The fourth book is a bridge to what was intended to be a second trilogy. Herbert finished the first two in it (books five and six). His son (with Kevin J. Anderson) wrote several prequel trilogies (I did not enjoy, YMMV, read at least one of them if you've made it this far to determine if you'll continue, quick reads), and eventually concluded the original series with two additional novels (I haven't read them, I was turned off by the style of the first prequel trilogy and haven't returned to it).
I can't tell whether you'd like them, but I do wish you luck.
