Blue Nowwhwere #2

One of the things that scares me about the Blue Nowhere is that it can be a true story. The author acknowledges at the end of the book that this might be our new reality. It is scary for me to think that some people have the power to enter other's lives and assimilate themselves quiet seamlessly. It is scary how Phate and Wyatt could make up their pasts, create new records of themselves, be whoever they want to be and no one would be the wiser. I was so surprised to find out that Wyatt made up the letters from his father and that he did not have a brother. I thought it was all real. What would have happened if he did not have the records from his youth to prove that he made up his past. I think about it and I don't fault him for making up the type of family that he did. There are so many kids out there that would love to the opportunity to change their lives, remake their parents into better people.

Phate was scary the way he worked his way into the lives of his victims. How he would make himself look like almost anyone and gather the information he needed to worm in his into their lives and then kill them. Even the little girl did not realize that the man that was picking her up was not her uncle. I hope that I would not be so easily fooled. But I guess if you haven't seen someone in a long time, or just met someone briefly you don't want to seem rude and not act like you don't know them. I know that I am guilty of carry on a conversation with someone I barely remember, but they remembered me and I felt bad that I did not even know their name.

I don't want to have my guard up all the time, but I don't know... I have to say that I have acquired more knowledge about the computer world from this book than anything else. I just never thought much about that side of things. I never thought about hacking, or using computers to hurt each other.
