From the south, near the infamous secret air base known as Area 51, talk-radio guru Art Bell spreads news of UFOs and sunken continents. To the northwest, in the Black Rock Desert, hippies and cyberpunks gather by the thousands for their annual Burning Man Festival, an orgy of punk rock, spontaneous gunplay and off-road motor sports...
