(Reason Magazine) Burning Man, the week-long festival held annually around Labor Day in the Nevada desert, has emerged as the media's favorite countercultural event of the 1990s. To tour Burning Man is to get a sense of the promise of how spontaneous social orders develop and flourish--and how they can wither and die.

(Plane and Pilot) "Of the 30,000 people who attended the Burning Man 2000 festival, most drove. But for the pilots who flew into Burning Man, most describe it as an experience they will never forget. Freeman discusses the role aviation has played in the event, and describes the experience of the pilots who attended."

(New Yorker) "The article discusses the principles that guide the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada, and presents comments from attendees of a Burning Man Project fund-raiser in New York City on what lessons Burning Man might have for U.S. President Barack Obama. Among tenets of Burning Man are self-reliance, radical self-expression, and civic responsibility."

(VWhittier Daily News) "In an attempt to preserve the decentralized, democratic spirit on which Burning Man was founded, the leaders try not to curate the event. Instead, participants are encouraged to abide by the 10 Principles of Burning Man, which include "radical self-expression," gifting, and a strict "leave no trace" policy for campsites."

(Christian Science Monitor) "Burning Man kicks off on Monday. Here's a list of frequently asked questions about this annual celebration of free expression and self reliance."

(Tikkun) "The article discusses the Burning Man arts and culture festival to be held in Reno, Nevada in August 2013."

(Christianity Today) The article looks at the annual Burning Man event which takes place at the Nevada desert north of Reno. The barren alkali lake-bed called Black Rock Playa is the place where people gather to camp, party, create art and burn things. This annual event is considered hedonistic because it promotes the dual values of radical self-reliance and radical self-expression. Burning Man and other festivals like the Rainbow Gatherings and Mind Body Spirit also foster a search for deeper spirituality."

(Fifth Estate) "With its sense of total freedom, the festival is the ultimate Temporary Autonomous Zone, as [Hakim Bey] describes, and is the most beautiful and functional display of anarchy I've ever seen."
