The Butlerian Jihad

The detailed world-building around the origins of the Butlerian Jihad really drew me in. I wonder what sources or ideas influenced this portrayal.

The way characters justify their actions through faith added a layer of complexity, but it also made me uneasy about how easily belief can lead to violence.

There are moments of intense battle alongside deep debates on technology and morality. I'm curious how the pacing was planned to weave these elements together.
