Operation Boom is a paranoid, often darkly humorous sci-fi thriller about control, conspiracy, and the cost of being disposable.
Salvador Zapata has nothing left to lose. So when a rising tech company offers him easy money to join a groundbreaking wellness program, he signs up, agreeing to spend one year sealed in a chamber in the name of human optimization.
One year turns into four.
When Sal finally wakes, the world he knew is gone. Los Angeles is cleaner, more orderly. Crime, poverty, and dissent have all but vanished. What was once considered chaos has been replaced by calm, but only because anyone labeled undesirable has been removed off the streets, sent into wellness hibernation.
Beneath the utopian surface, something feels off. Haunted by vivid, near-hallucinatory dreams and flashes of violence he doesn't understand, Sal begins to suspect the trial was never about wellness at all.
