Written by Wall Street Journal reporter Katherine Blunt, the book is a work of narrative nonfiction and investigative journalism that follows PG&E from its origins as a visionary utility to its role in one of the most devastating wildfire disasters in state history. The book focuses on how neglected infrastructure, weak oversight, corporate incentives, and changing environmental conditions combined to produce repeated catastrophe. Rather than treating the Camp Fire as an isolated event, Blunt places it in the context of decades of decisions about maintenance, regulation, investment, and risk. The result is both a history of one company and a wider analysis of how modern utilities can fail when safety, accountability, and long-term planning are subordinated to short-term pressures.
