Like Star Wars, the future Dune has Abrahamic, self-righteous, heroic, "chosen one" themes to it. I don't think it's a surprise. What's interesting about the Butlerian Jihad is that it mirrors some of the Kafkaesque dystopian themes of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Perhaps people without social media are now considered "savages"? And how dare anyone pay with untraceable, dirty cash or crypto! /s
