Retrieved March 3, 2019. 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.

Herbert's interest in the desert setting of Dune and its challenges is attributed to research he began in 1957 for a never-completed article about a United States Department of Agriculture experiment using poverty grasses to stabilize damaging sand dunes, which could "swallow whole cities, lakes, rivers, and highways." [30] Herbert spent the next five years researching, writing, and revising what would eventually become the novel Dune, [30] which was initially serialized in Analog magazine as two shorter works, Dune World (1963) and The Prophet of Dune (1965). [31] The serialized version was expanded and reworked—and rejected by more than 20 publishers—before being published by Chilton Books, a printing house best known for its auto repair manuals, in 1965. [32] Dune won the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1966, and the 1966 Hugo Award. [33] [34] The novel has been translated into dozens of languages, and has sold almost 20 million copies. [35] Dune has been regularly cited as one of the world's best-selling science fiction novels. [1] [2]
