So many words, covering such a short period of time. Leto thinks that benign dictatorship and a complete stop on all human progress is important, in order to ensure that the Golden Path is successful, and to avoid a possible future where Machines hunt down and kill all humans (except those that cannot be seen by prescience). Women exist in the book mostly to have sex, or to desire to have sex. How Leto survives for so long after falling off a bridge is beyond me, particularly since his brain was supposed to be distributed between the sandtrout.
