Night Operation

In a dystopian future, society has retreated underground due to the fear of terrorist attacks, living in the cramped and oppressive environment of abandoned city sewers. This setting highlights the intense obsession with security and biological processes, reflecting the repressive effects of anxiety on human communities. Barfield's narrative serves as a contemporary allegory, exploring themes of humanity's decline and the potential for renewal, resonating powerfully in a post-9/11 context.
