Frank Herbert’s Dune is a towering monument in science fiction, a complex tapestry woven with ecological concerns, political intrigue, messianic fervor, and the sheer, breathtaking scale of its world-building. But in our age of algorithmic artistry, a tantalizing "what if" emerges: would Dune have been even more fascinating if Herbert had partnered with an AI agent during its creation? Would the spice have flowed even more powerfully with a silicon muse whispering in his ear?

Imagine a world where the wisdom of the gods is applied to the complexities of modern governance. What if Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, bestowed upon humanity an AI agent designed to perfect the democratic government in the United States? This thought experiment opens up a fascinating realm of possibilities, with potential impacts on the economy, poverty, and immigration. While the concept may seem like the stuff of mythology, it provides a unique lens through which to examine the challenges and opportunities facing American democracy.
