Burning Man: Beyond Black Rock goes behind the scenes of a social revolution to explore the philosophy that fuels it, the social contract that drives it, and the transcendent experience that makes
it a worldwide cultural force.
This conception accounts for
cultural influences of varying degrees in the form of larger rivers representing the dominant
cultural forces of the day, but also for the more pronounced
cultural mixing that occurs today as a result of increased access to instant
worldwide communication and the instantaneous dissemination of information.
