Tribes of Burning Man
How an Experimental City in the Desert Is Shaping the New American Counterculture
About the book
Burning Man, the countercultural gathering where participants raise a giant statue and build a temporary city in the Nevada desert for about a week, is the subject of Steven T. Jones's account. Hundreds of thousands of people have made the trip to Black Rock City to join its blend of participatory art, gift culture and celebration, and many say the experience changed their lives. Jones covers the event's renaissance years from 2004 onward, when the frontier became a real city and its many tribes, from fire artists and grungy builders to music lovers and do-gooders, set up lasting outposts in sister cities around the world. He also profiles some of its most colorful leaders.

I would recommend books that focus on pop culture, experiential events, or historical events that have changed people's lives. I came across a must read book quite recently; Tribes of Burning Man: How an Experimental City in the Desert Is Shaping the New American Counterculture. This book showcases how one single event impacted and changed multiple lives and why it is important to pursue your passion and surround yourself with people that believe in similar things.
