    Butlerian Jihad is from Dune (fiction). Not sure about whether it is good or not but from the synopsis I just read it doesn’t sound bad.

    Destroying driverless cars in California I think is complicated. It’s not good to see IMO. But there is this whole thing about how some places in California have become sort of a testing ground of this technology and the locals have had no input in this. Usually big corporations like Waymo have a direct channel to politicians and after small bumps they can do whatever they want. I don’t know the details because I don’t care about local Californian politics but hearsay that is the gist I got. With this context this act of spontaneous vandalism should be seen not as a revolt against technology but against corporations like Waymo and the politicians that they have in their pockets.
