The 5th Wave: Theories

While reading The 5th Wave, many interesting theories arise as to how the Others descended onto Earth. Some say they implanted themselves onto a human brain, using us as a host. Maybe they have been living among us since the dawn of humans. Or they are so technologically advanced we can't see them. All these theories got me thinking; what is growing under our noses in today's society?

This implantation of the Others in The 5th Wave, reminds me of the Cuban Missile Crisis. While the U.S. was worrying about foreign affairs in Europe, the Russians sneaked in nuclear missiles into communist Cuba. Without even batting an eye at our own sector of the world, we were held at gunpoint by the Russians. It seemed as if the world might possibly end. But we are still here today.

I wonder if there are secretive groups in society controlling us without our knowledge. Or if there is an underground group of terrorists waiting for a time to strike. With all these advances of technology happening, are they making us blind from what is right in front of us? I'm still thinking and not sure what to make of this situation. Goodbye for now, let me know what you think.
