Take Heart of Darkness, throw in some modern day self-awareness and a good dash of literary craft, mix in a dollop of what the heck was that and you've got State of Wonder.
Bit of a slow burn but you get the sense of an increasingly out-of-control pontoon which just bursts into a concerning amount of flame by the time it comes in to land.
