Sep 18, 2026

“Operation Bounce House” is a tense, gameified colonist-versus-corporate-militarization story—so this playlist leans into cinematic tension, mechanical momentum, and near-inevitable escalation. The tracks map to the book’s core beats: the ranch-life normalcy that gets ripped away, the remote-warfare “game,” and the growing emotional cost for Oliver and the Sonoran world.
