ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
"Blowout" by Rachel Maddow explores the dark side of the oil and gas industry and its far-reaching effects. The book uncovers a web of interconnected events, revealing how the industry's pursuit of profit has led to corruption, environmental damage, and political interference.
It examines the Resource Curse through the lens of Equatorial Guinea, where oil wealth has enriched a select few while the majority struggles in poverty. The book further investigates the rise in man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma due to fracking and the suppression of scientific findings.
Additionally, it delves into Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, exposing how disinformation and cyber warfare were used to sow discord and influence American public opinion. The story serves as a call for accountability and transparency in the oil and gas industry.
