What is that FitBit on your wrist, after all, if not one more way for Them to keep tabs on you? Google, Take the Wheel, we say, handing over control of the meandering independence of driving. Forget the black helicopters - the real invasion came as iPhones. Today we are terribly aware of the UFOs overhead (in the form of hundreds of thousands of drones) and the constant feeling of being watched, whether by the NSA or by the Facebook algorithm that knows you’ve been shopping for fat pants. The rebooted, six-episode version of “The X-Files” (premiering Sunday on Fox) wastes no time acknowledging the obvious: As a people, Americans are a crazier bunch and more prone to conspiracy theories than we were back when FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully closed up their clandestine paranormal investigations unit in 2002. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny reprise their roles as Scully and Mulder in a rebooted “The X-Files.” (Ed Araquel/Fox)
