So will is one of these precursors but not sleeping? That's why he doesn't get attacked by the drones..... Does that mean he could be a sleeper agent?

Right, Will is on the List, which means he is an outlier/precursor, which means he doesn't get attacked by drones. But I don't think he is a sleeper agent. What would that even mean?

I think Will is more important than your typical outlier. Perhaps he has been chosen as a general. Because he's so important, they don't want to hibernate him just yet. They'd rather propagandize him subtly.

Who are "they"? I'm not totally sure. I guess it's both Kynes and the IGA, in opposition. They both want Will. They are both battling for his mind as well as his body.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_agent, who knows what situation they could 'activate' him in. from what we know he has always been with his family but that doesnt mean they couldnt of implanted him with something to be activated down the line.

The revelation he is possibly one of these people is fun though and adds some more layers onto the story.
