Nerding out here:
In Dune, all computing machines are outlawed, destroyed in the Butlerian Jihad (historical fact in the book). Human computers "mentats" are used instead. Space navigation (no Nav Computers!) by Spacing Guild, using Spice to gain an extradimensional view of time and space to safely go from point A to point B. When Paul Atreides takes spice, his breeding (overseen by Bene Gesserit over hundreds or thousands of generations) makes him super sensitive to Spice, allowing him to see into the future.
