Manford Torondo
The leader who continues the movement against technology after the machine war.
Overview
In Sisterhood of Dune, Manford’s followers discover robot warships left in space after Omnius’s defeat. Manford sees them as dangers to be destroyed, rather than tools to be put to use.
Place in the universe
His disagreement with Josef Venport takes shape around technology’s appeal and the fear of renewed enslavement. Winning the war has not settled the question of the limits within which society will live with technology.
