Earth in the "Dune" universe has a different history from ours.

It's also one that has shifted as much as the sands of Arrakis , depending on who you ask.

According to " The Dune Encyclopedia" Earth was hit by an asteroid in our far future (or the distant past of Paul Atreides ) which made it uninhabitable for any form of life.

The Butlerian Jihad was a crusade against computers after they became "thinking machines" that tried to overthrow humanity.

The actual conflict left Earth in ruins and is a major event highlighted in " Dune: Prophecy" Expanded Dune lore by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson .

This chapter in human history left Earth uninhabitable for centuries .
