About
Six years into the show, Abu and Leo finally give the most consequential event in Dune history its own episode. From Jehanne Butler's personal tragedy on Komos to the century of holy war that followed, this is the story of how humanity destroyed its thinking machines and rebuilt itself without them. Part 1 of a two-part series on the jihads of Dune.
LIGHT SPOILERS: if you've read the first book or seen the Denis Villeneuve films, you're safe to listen.
IN THIS EPISODE
Why Frank Herbert gave the biggest event in his universe barely two paragraphs, and how the Dune Encyclopedia fills in the missing century
Jehanne Butler's path from Bene Gesserit-trained priestess to revolutionary, and the hospital tragedy on Komos that lit the fuse
The nearly bloodless coup against Richese, and the machine-run society that horrified the Komans who arrived there
How one interrogation between the Priestess Urania and an insufferable tech bro turned a planetary revolt into a galactic holy war
Butlerian Jihad or Great Revolt? Abu and Leo weigh in on what history should call it
