The word ''mentat'' comes from [WikiPedia:Frank_Herbert Frank Herbert]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dune_(novel)&oldid=296647729 Dune novels,] and refers to a person who undergoes special training to become a "human computer" in a society where computers are taboo. Although computers are not a taboo subject on this wiki (you're soaking in them!), augmentation of the human brain by computer is not generally a topic of interest; that information should be delegated to [http://sl4.org/bin/wiki.pl?HomePage a Transhumanist wiki,] except where the computer is used for training (example: drilling on the pegs in a PegSystem). Wikipedia has a [WikiPedia:Mentat good article on mentats in the Dune books]. == See also == *[http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=1643 So you want to be a mentat?] - blog post
