Topic: Cymek


In the News (Sat 2 Jun 12)

  
  Cymek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Frank Herbert's fictional Dune universe, A cymek is a type of cyborg, a machine-human hybrid.
The separation of the brain from the body to become a cymek is like that invented by the cogitors, philosophers who had their brains removed in order to live longer, simpler lives, in which they could think without the distraction of a physical body.
The original cymeks were once a group of twenty ambitious young humans who saw the stagnation of the empire and realized that their small band could take control of it with the aid of machines.

 Dune: The Butlerian Jihad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cymeks are a breed of machine with human brains, who originally activated the Omnius Computer that now controls all machines and much of the galaxy.
However after the mistakes of the cymek (or Titans as the original twenty call themselves) Omnius becomes a true thinking entity and seeks to replace human chaos with machine order, thus igniting the war between machine and humanity.
Vorian Atreides is ironically son of the leading Cymek Titan Agamemnon (which is actually an accurate genetic line as the name Atreides originates with House Atreus, a real life ancient Greek family of the real Agamemnon of the Iliad).

 "DUNE: Hunting Harkonnens," by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
Another cymek blast finally breached the protective plates and damaged the yacht's engines as the vessel careened toward the not-close-enough planet with broad blue seas and white lacings of clouds.
Cymeks did not use eyes like humans did, and their sensors were delicate, sensitive to different parts of the spectrum.
The cymek fell to its articulated knees, the electrafluid in its stained brain canister glowing blue as it focused its mental energy.

Then the cymek's planetary computers—each known as Omnius—seized control from their overlords and a thousand years of brutal rule by the thinking machines began.

Others-like Vorian Atreides, bastard son of the cymek Agamemnon—are proud to serve the machines.

Characters that never existed in his father's "Duniverse" are introduced, including the Transformer like "cymeks"; Omnius, the megacomputer that has supposedly captured control of nearly all of humanity and a traitorous Atreides; a character so at odds with the protrayal of the family in the first quartet that it boggles the mind.
It is simply impossible to connect the prequels with the originals.
