Early in his newspaper career, Frank Herbert was introduced to Zen, a school of Mahayana Buddhism, by two Jungian psychologists, Ralph and Irene Slattery, who "gave a crucial boost to his thinking". [116] Zen teachings ultimately had "a profound and continuing influence on [Herbert's] work". [116] Throughout the Dune series and particularly in Dune, Herbert employs concepts and forms borrowed from Zen Buddhism. [22] [116] [117] The Fremen are Zensunni adherents, and many of Herbert's epigraphs are Zen-spirited.

Anderson complete the original series and wrap up storylines that began with Heretics of Dune. Herbert died in 1986, [16] [17] leaving his vision of the events of the Butlerian Jihad unexplored and open to speculation. [10] The Legends of Dune prequel trilogy (2002–2004) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson presents the Jihad as a war between humans and the sentient machines they had created, who rise up and nearly destroy humanity. [18] The series explains that humanity had become entirely complacent and dependent upon thinking machines; recognizing this weakness, a group of ambitious, militant humans calling themselves the Titans use this widespread reliance on machine intelligence to seize control of the entire universe. [18] Their reign lasts for a century; eventually they give too much access and power to the AI program Omnius, which usurps control from the Titans themselves. [10] [18] Seeing no value in human life, the thinking machines—now including armies of robot soldiers and other aggressive machines—dominate and enslave nearly all of humanity in the universe for 900 years, until a jihad is ignited. [10] This crusade against the machines lasts for nearly a century, with much loss of human life but ultimately ending in human victory.

The target of the Jihad was a machine-attitude as much as the machines...Humans had set those machines to usurp our sense of beauty, our necessary selfdom out of which we make living judgments. Naturally, the machines were destroyed. Bates, Bob (2003). Game Developer's Market Guide. Thomson Course Technology. p.141. ISBN 1-59200-104-1.

Mythological Studies Journal 8:9-14. As explained in Dune, the Butlerian Jihad is a conflict taking place over 11,000 years in the future [7] (and over 10,000 years before the events of Dune), which results in the total destruction of virtually all forms of "computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots". [8] With the prohibition "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind," the creation of even the simplest thinking machines is outlawed and made taboo, [8] which has a profound influence on the socio-political and technological development of humanity in the Dune series. [9] Herbert refers to the Jihad several times in the novels, but does not give much detail on how he imagined the causes and nature of the conflict. [10] Critical analysis has often associated the term with Samuel Butler and his 1863 essay " Darwin among the Machines", which advocated the destruction of all advanced machines. [11]
