From Dune and ... 🎯

@Natasha_Jay

This quote is why I hate the Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert prequels so much.

The original Dune series has a lot of references to the Butlerian Jihad as a reaction to people living mechanically structured lives that removed their essential humanity and allowed other humans to control them. The prequels made it about evil killer robots with no sensible motivations.

@david_chisnall @Natasha_Jay That and they were a real slog to read. Just turgid prose.
@aka_quant_noir @david_chisnall @Natasha_Jay Oh ugh, all of them were terrible. Frank's kid totally coasting on the name.
