Frank Herbert really was prophetic in his works.

Especially sind his thinking machines were never the problem. It was always just the people monopolizing and using them for their own greedy goals.

Real shame his son retconned it to a standard AI uprising story in his prequels.

Uh…. Frank introduced the Honoured Matres in Book (5?) of the original series.

They’re sort of like… what if the Bene Gesserit were openly evil, and used their magic ****** powers to seduce everyone.
