Stranger Things sesaon 4 sounds a bit like The Variable Man by Philip K. Dick to me. There are two factions inside the government with different ideas on how to handle the special case.
Also, the new book is called Flight Of Icarus... that is the secret weapon in The Variable Man and an album from Iron Maiden.
A tip: don't call your project Icarus. Bad omen.
Finally, The Variable Man is a very recommendable sci/fi story.
The Variable Man de Philip K Dick
The Variable Man by Philip K Dick, Ace D-261, 1957, paperback original. Cover art by Ed Emshwiller. Bright and tight; a mild spine lean and faint readers crease to the rear, but otherwise like new. A scarce book. …Más

"Intersystem Vidsender"
The variable man could fix anything. A child hands him a broken vidsender and he took it apart, reassembled it and made it work. Later it turns out the machine was just a child's toy that never actually worked to begin with.

Predictability has come a long way. The computers of the future can tell you if you’re going to win a war before you fire a shot. Unfortunately, they’re predicting perpetual standoff between the Terran and Centaurian Empires. What they need is something unpredictable, what they get is Thomas Cole, a man from the past accidently dragged forward in time. Will he fit their calculations, or is he the random variable that can break the stalemate? – The Variable Man first appeared in the September 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

Feadz - Population Shift feat. The Variable Man
"The machines aren't able to handle the item. No reading can come. It's data they can't integrate. They can't use it for prediction material, and it throws off all their other figures."
"Why?"
"It's—it's a variable." Kaplan was shaking, white-lipped and pale. "Something from which no inference can be made. The man from the past. The machines can't deal with him. The variable man!"
