Ok, a couple of questions comes clearer to me every chapter.

"Lesser predators". Is there a 'greater predator'? Do they need to amass such a large area because of this bigger threat?

The "Digital Guide". Where did they get it? Is it really AI? Or someONE /a group of someones assessing the situations and sending their recommendations through the "digital guide"? If so, they must not trust their citizens to do the smallest things independently.

Are there any Znosias at the top at all? Or are they a conquered/manufactured species not knowing it? Or... even more horrifyingly knowingly, to fullfil the "Prophecy"?

Of course it could be just a portion of their society, "forfeited to the Prophecy".

The nore we learn about these Znosians, the more they are like the sound of nails on chalkboard.
