The
Butlerian
Jihad
,
occurring
ten
thousand
years
before
the
events
described
in
Dune
was
a
war
against
thinking
machines
who
at
one
time
had
cruelly
enslaved
humans
.
For
this
reason
,
computers
were
eventually
made
illegal
by
humans
,
as
decreed
in
the
Orange
Catholic
Bible
:
“
Thou
shalt
not
make
a
machine
in
the
likeness
of
a
human
mind
.
”
The
roots
of
the
jihad
went
back
to
individuals
my
parents
knew
,
to
my
mother
’
s
grandfather
Cooper
Landis
and
to
our
family
friend
Ralph
Slattery
,
both
of
whom
abhorred
machines
.
Still
,
there
are
computers
in
the
Dune
universe
,
long
after
the
jihad
.
As
the
series
unfolds
,
it
is
revealed
that
the
Bene
Gesserits
have
secret
computers
to
keep
track
of
their
breeding
records
.
And
the
Mentats
of
Dune
,
capable
of
supreme
logic
,
are
“
human
computers
.
”
In
large
part
these
human
calculators
were
based
upon
my
father
’
s
paternal
grandmother
,
Mary
Stanley
,
an
illiterate
Kentucky
hill
-
woman
who
performed
incredible
mathematical
calculations
in
her
head
.
Mentats
were
the
precursors
of
Star
Trek
’
s
Spock
,
First
Officer
of
the
starship
Enterprise
.
.
.
and
Frank
Herbert
described
the
dangers
of
thinking
machines
back
in
the
1960s
,
years
before
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
’
s
Terminator
movies
.
Remarkably
,
no
aliens
inhabit
the
Dune
universe
.
Even
the
most
exotic
of
creatures
,
the
mutant
Guild
Navigators
,
are
humans
.
So
are
the
vile
genetic
wizards
,
the
Tleilaxu
,
and
the
gholas
grown
in
their
flesh
vats
.
Among
the
most
unusual
humans
to
spring
from
Frank
Herbert
’
s
imagination
,
the
women
of
the
Bene
Gesserit
Sisterhood
have
a
collective
memory
—
a
concept
based
largely
upon
the
writings
and
teachings
of
Carl
Gustav
Jung
,
who
spoke
of
a
“
collective
unconscious
,
”
that
supposedly
inborn
set
of
“
contents
and
modes
of
behavior
”
possessed
by
all
human
beings
.
These
were
concepts
my
father
discussed
at
length
with
Ralph
Slattery
’
s
wife
Irene
,
a
psychologist
who
had
studied
with
Jung
in
Switzerland
in
the
1930s
.
Frank
Herbert
’
s
life
reached
a
crescendo
in
the
years
after
1957
,
when
he
focused
his
unusual
experiences
and
knowledge
on
creating
his
great
novel
.
In
the
massive
piles
of
books
he
read
to
research
Dune
,
he
recalled
reading
somewhere
that
ecology
was
the
science
of
understanding
consequences
.
This
was
not
his
original
concept
,
but
as
he
learned
from
Ezra
Pound
,
he
“
made
it
new
”
and
put
it
in
a
form
that
was
palatable
to
millions
of
people
.
With
a
worldview
similar
to
that
of
an
American
Indian
,
Dad
saw
western
man
inflicting
himself
on
the
environment
,
not
living
in
harmony
with
it
.
Despite
all
the
work
Dune
required
,
my
father
said
it
was
his
favorite
book
to
write
.
He
used
what
he
called
a
“
technique
of
enormous
detail
,
”
in
which
he
studied
and
prepared
notes
over
a
four
year
period
,
between
1957
and
1961
,
then
wrote
and
rewrote
the
book
between
1961
and
1965
.
As
Dad
expanded
and
contracted
the
manuscript
,
depending
upon
which
editor
was
giving
him
advice
,
an
error
found
its
way
into
the
final
manuscript
.
