Matt Yglesias, and three possible reactions to a Machine Domination, according to popular scifi:

In the future, of course, all work will be done by robots and the human race will become soft and decadent until, eventually, the robots tire of doing our dirty work for us and overthrow their biological masters. Needless to say, humans will fight back producing either: (a) virtual reality kung-fu battles, (b) a poorly-written Buddislamic jihad, or ( c ) time-traveling Austrian robots.

I’m sorry teens, no computer-generated patent-leather and vinyl dresses for me. I’m going for choice (b). I want my own Matt Yglesias Ghola Mentat to store my bloggy goodness once computers are shunned for thousands upon thousands of years… besides, it’s the only future where we can cross the stars and have our eyes glow “blue on blue” if we take enough dead, dried, pulverized worm.

As for the Butlerian Jihad, I don’t see the necessity of writing and publishing such a book. The account in The Dune Encylopedia tells it all, sans the drama.
