Could this Butler be the inspiration for Dune’s Butlerian Jihad?<p>I guess this is just coincidence<p>Update: From the comments::<p>“The story mentions Asimov and The Matrix, but overlooks the Dune saga, where the Butlerian Jihad - the revolt against thinking machines that shaped society as we know it from Frank Herbert's novels - likely took its name from the very Samuel Butler and his letter.”
