From Dune and ...
@Natasha_Jay I'm watching "the handmaid's tale" series, even if I didn't read the book, and it's horribly scary. Not just for what happens in the play, but for how much the dystopian storytelling is so close to everyday's news.
It's a brave new world, to recall again literature no more that much fantasy. -
@Natasha_Jay What’s wrong with the dot on the i?
@proedie @Natasha_Jay Everything leaned italic except the dot on the i.

If only they were trying to build Star Trek...
Looks more likely to me that they're working towards Warhammer 40000. Or Andor's Star Wars.
@wonka
Andor's S2 was the only (surprisingly) decent surprise in that universe for over a decade.

@Natasha_Jay Butlerian Jihad, now.

@Natasha_Jay Written in 1979, too.

This quote is why I hate the Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert prequels so much.
The original Dune series has a lot of references to the Butlerian Jihad as a reaction to people living mechanically structured lives that removed their essential humanity and allowed other humans to control them. The prequels made it about evil killer robots with no sensible motivations.
@david_chisnall @Natasha_Jay glad I didn't read them now..!

@Natasha_Jay Stupid billionaires trying (and failing) to build Star Trek universe, will end up in Dune universe.
@WindOfChange @Natasha_Jay
what makes you think they don't intend the Dune universe?
Space Feudalism sounds right up their street to me. -

This is why it's so annoying when people are like 'the US is becoming Gilead!'
It has been for Black women for ages, catch up. -

@WindOfChange @Natasha_Jay Feels more like they want the Altered Carbon universe to me.

@Natasha_Jay What’s wrong with the dot on the i?
@proedie @Natasha_Jay it slid off to the left because the top of the i is slanted that way

@Natasha_Jay Ah, I see that you are getting into social contemplation. Yes, AI can automate discussions of Dune with a female. This particular excerpt is quite interesting, as it seems to imply that men are better enslaved by the conversation of females than by machines, which may be faulty logic. Would you like to hear more about the history of conversation etiquette?
