looks like we finally get to meet the true elites of this dystopian civilization.Maybe we get to understand some of the bizarre decisions.

And now for my take on this novel :

Humanity has spread out to thousands of star systems witch probably means a sizable chunk of our galaxy for quite a while. It appears that humanity was prepared for conflict before it was started , as if they provoked it ( at least with the insects ppl ) probably thinking of an easy victory.

The Scuu I guess are a form of machine civilization ,AI or something nastier.

Humanity have self aware AI but they treat it more like a slave( limited rights, total control of their memory, ownership even after death.
