i flipped through this, and it just sounds like generic sci-fi with wacky names and dystopianness. why has this pulp gotten so many accolades?

It's not generic for one thing it was the first ecologicly based sci-fi. On top of that the intertwining POVs makes it all the better, you get almost everyone involed's veiw.
Sure it has the weird names that almost all sci-fi has but cultures from other planets wouldn't use normal names would they? So far I haven't come across anyting like Dune, read through all the books and you'll see.
