Just re-reading Dune. It's interesting that Frank Herbert made a point of excluding both robots and computers from his science fiction. That was a very popular book in its time, along with Lord of the Rings. A lot of people don't realize what a hit Lord of the Rings was back then, too. It was anti-Tech, too, since Tolkien saw way too much of what Tech could do during WWI.
