Dune. The machine crusade

Earth is a radioactive ruin. But the initial campaign of the Butlerian Jihad has given new hope to mankind. Where once all-powerful machines ruled, free humanity - inspired by Serena Butler, whose murdered child has become a symbol of the oppressed - unites for war against the thinking computers. The authors of Prelude to Dune have turned to a new and pivotal epoch in the history of the Dune universe to tell the story most eagerly anticipated by its readers.
