Thing is, the Asimov Foundation universe could actually fit in the "past" of the Dune universe.
This idea is oddly fascinating. Now we just need a good sci-fi writer to produce the "missing link".
Maybe the robots in Asimov's universe lead to the creation of Erasmus and eventually the Butlerian Jihad.
Yes, that was my idea too :)
In the non-canon book Psychohistorical Crisis, the Dune universe is part of the past of the Foundation universe. The Fremon are known as the "Frightful People" to historians.
