I like the idea that Frank Herbert’s job was at risk and that’s why he had to write about the Butlerian Jihad because it kind of sounds like on the other side you have Ray Kurzweil, who does not have to justify his job for some reason.

Does seem funny to think of sci fi writers as being particularly concerned about justifying their jobs.
