http://itunes.com/apps/Stanza. "Part 3": The original idea for the
Butlerian Jihad may have come to Herbert as a direct result of the
fear of computers in our own culture. In an article written for the
San Francisco Examiner in 1968 (admittedly a number of years after
Dune), Herbert imagined a look back in time from 2068 and prophesied a
similar revolt in our own immediate future:
Prominent in 2068 history books is the account of the violence at the
turn of the century when people revolted against computer control.
Computer stored data (growing out of the old National Data Center) had
been used to harass and persecute those whose views didn't conform
with those of the majority. In the bloody revolt, most computers were
destroyed, their data erased.
