npub1nxty7rc9fdtcf3mq83wp4jsxqm9yz209e6fjn0qkjgm542x23vpqma055a (npub1nxt…055a) There's a Banks (Culture) quote that comes to mind- 'If there is one thing that empires are not about, it is the efficient use of resources'. We don't know how much effort it takes to actually spy on others. We don't know what resources they have. We do know there are many, many, 'useless' people, without a task to do, in that society
Why not set them chasing their own tails? With automation, the actual needed worker count is low (part of the fear premise of the book). Busywork
