Tiz Dune Ze Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert und Kevin J. Anderson. It takez place vell prior tae ze original book zeriez ztartin' viz ze book Dune (Vhich ah 'ave read und enjoyed majorly) by Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert'z Fazer. Ze plot iz

Zpoiler (In Englizh)

Human has spread to many other planets and solar systems, however they have grown extremely dependent on machines und particularly ones that imitate thinking. Wanting to cause change, a group of about 20 humans used the machines to enslave and conquer the humans. What then ends up happening is the machines then go out of control and enslave the humans that had originally enslaved the other humans, as well as the ones that had been enslaved to begin with. Many humans fight, and some flee, such as the one's that went to the planet Arrakis (also kent as Dune, hint the reason for the name of the books being that). The free humans of the Old Empire have formed into an alliance to fight the machines, who have set up their own "empire" with the main computer Omnius at the top of it. The twenty humans that originally used the machines to enslave the other humans at some point (either prior to, during or after the original enslaving) have removed their brains from their bodiez and attached them to mechanical bodies in an attempt to avoid mortality. They (having been enslaved by the machines) serve the machines. It is quite a major novel, and I plan on reading the whole trilogy.
