Description

Set in the rich and complex universe of Dune, this narrative unfolds in a time when the remnants of a brutal conflict with thinking machines linger. The story explores the aftermath of their defeat, as humanity struggles to re-establish itself and grapple with the implications of artificial intelligence. At the heart of this struggle lies the development of the Mentat schools, which train exceptional human minds to serve as living computers, crucial for navigating a future filled with uncertainty.

As various factions vie for power and influence, the characters are drawn into a web of political intrigue and philosophical dilemmas. The clash between human intellect and the remnants of technology forces individuals to confront their beliefs about consciousness and the limits of human potential. With compelling characters and thought-provoking themes, the narrative delves into the essence of humanity, loyalty, and survival in a meticulously crafted world that invites readers to reflect on their own relationship with technology.
