The Best Books About Burning Man: These books track the rise of the festival to its current state and shed light on whether it’s poised for success or heading towards an inevitable flame out
First held on a nondescript public beach in San Francisco in 1986, where attendees literally burned an 8-foot tall effigy as a form of protest, Burning Man has quickly risen from an underground assembly of artists and misfits to a multi-million dollar mass meet-up thoroughly entrenched in the mainstream. These days, the gathering attracts people from all walks of life, from students to seniors, buskers to bankers, for seven days of community and camaraderie.
Critics, meantime, peg Burning Man as nothing more than an excuse for gluttony and a guilt-free way to satiate suppressed urges that normally wouldn’t be couth, say, at the office, or a regular concert in the city. But attendees say that’s exactly what makes the festival so attractive.
