To me that's a fascinating part of the universe that makes it unique. One technological development trumps another.

I do wonder, why was AI banned in this universe? Why are there no computers? I don't know the backstory on that one, so if anyone can explain it, tag it in spoilers.
There's tons of granular stuff like that they left out ... Like lasers hitting shield would create a small thermonuclear detonation...

As for the Mentats (who are human computers), I don't think its a spoiler... but there was an, um, incident centuries earlier

Spoiler!


Not sure this will be covered later on now that part 2 has been greenlit.

Even Paul Krugman took the time to praise the movie in a column today https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/26/o...on-series.html
