- Among those who have attended, there is an insatiable desire to know more about the festival--its inception, history, growth, and players. By the time of publication over 110,000 will have attended.- Burning Man is exploding rapidly into the national consciousness. For every festival attendee, there are 100 more who wish they could go; this book will make them feel like they are there.- Only Burning Man could attract such a large number of artists, scientists, architects, and performers unbound by the usual constraints of space and convention. Their genius--and their mania--will be explored here in detail.- In cities across the U.S.--from Boston to Seattle, from New York to Austin--there are offshoot events of the festival called regional burns that will provide opportunities for local media attention for our book.
