There's a section of Stephen Markley's book The Deluge where one of the point-of-view characters flies to Los Angeles to try to rescue his adult kid from a wildfire that has spread through the whole metropolitan area.
I didn't mention that in my 2023 write-up of the book because there was too much to say about it, but it's one of the more indelible parts of the story.
The images from Pacific Palisades and other places since yesterday look just the way I imagined it.
What are we doing, rebuilding — let alone widening highways — for "mobility." What do we think the future is?
