DUNE
THE BUTLERIAN JIHAD
Brian Herbert
and
Kevin J, Anderson

Princess Irulan writes: kny true student must realize that History has no beginning.
Regardless of where a story starts, there are always earlier heroes and earlier tragedies.
Before one can understand Muad'Dib or the current jihad that followed the
overthrow of my father, Emperor Shaddam IV, one must understand what we fight
against. Therefore, look more than ten thousand years into our past, ten millennia
before the birth of Paul Atreides.
It is there that we see the founding of the Imperium, how an emperor rose from the
ashes of the Battle of Corrin to unify the bruised remnants of humanity. We will delve
into the most ancient records, into the very myths of Dune, into the time of the Great
Revolt, more commonly known as the Butlerian Jihad.
The terrible war against thinking machines was the genesis of our political-
commercial universe. Hear now, as I tell the story of free humans rebelling against the
domination of robots, computers, and cymeks. Observe the basis of the great betrayal
that made mortal enemies of House Atreides and House Harkonnen, a violent feud that
continues to this day. Learn the roots of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, the Spacing ana
tneir JNavigators, the Swordmasters of Ginaz, the Suk Medical School, the Mentats,
Witness the lives of oppressed Zensunni Wanderers who fled to the desert world of
Arrakis, where they became our greatest soldiers, the Fremen.
Such events led to the birth and life of Muad'Dib.
LONG BEFORE MUAD'DIB, in the last days of the Old Empire, humanity lost its drive.
Terran civilization had spread across the stars, but grew stagnant. With few ambitions,
most people allowed efficient machines to perform everyday tasks for them. Gradually,
humans ceased to think, or dream… or truly live.
