Butlerian Jihad The Butlerian Jihad is an event in the back-story of Frank Herbert's fictional "Dune" universe. Occurring over 10,000 years before the events chronicled in his 1965 novel "Dune," this jihad leads to the outlawing of certain technologies, primarily "thinking machines," a collective term for computers and artificial intelligence of any kind. This prohibition is a key influence on the nature of Herbert's fictional setting.
