War contemporary life being unaware and growing up in post WWII us
The Animorphs consist of a diverse group of Americans, who learn of aliens in the US who plot to destroy it from within declaring a war on the planet. Not only are they aware of American culture, through pop culture reference such as playing their saga genesis but they become exposed to alien ones as well, from the Andalites to the Yeerks, the Taxxons and the Hork-Bajir.
The Yeerks are a symbol of the mentally ill, performed inception upon, experimental humans, humans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, casualties of war and creators of war.
K.A. Applegate is notably an anti-establishment figure, creating aliens that couldn't be created on media at the time.
Humorously in one of the Megamorphs, Jake becomes a Nazi in an alternate continuity.
