Omnius
The machine intelligence that rules the Synchronized Worlds.
Overview
The introduction to The Butlerian Jihad describes Omnius as a computer network that seized the order established by the Titans and spread across planets. The power humans built through machines becomes a system that also controls its human-born rulers.
Place in the universe
The Synchronized Worlds encompass a dominion larger than any single local computer. The transport of updates between planets explains the network’s continuity and why the war is not confined to one center. This detailed origin story belongs to the expanded novels.
