Thinking Machines (Dune) Explored - AI's Role in Shaping the Imperium, From Servants to Masters
663Dune: Prophecy does well to explore the rich history of the universe created by Frank Herbert, while also focusing on the aftermath of humanity’s war against the Thinking Machines. Based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the six-part series is set over 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, chronicling events that reshaped the galaxy and forged the powerful Bene Gesserit sisterhood. It takes place 166 years after the cataclysmic machine wars, and the story reveals a world still grappling with the legacy of its near-extinction. But what exactly are the thinking machines and how did they operate? Who was their leader? Was there like… a machine god? Did the Thinking Machines ever revive after the Butlerian Jihad? Well, we’ll answer these questions and much more. So, without further ado, let’s begin.
