“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

“ ‘Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind”,

to which Mohaim responds:

“Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible … But what the OC should have said is: ‘Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind’ ”.

This exchange is missing from Villeneuve’s Dune, but the ramifications of the backstory are not.
