"Larry Harvey (co-founder of Burning Man) was a voracious reader and was heavily influenced by works such as Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert Putnam and The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James." - Wiki

"A voracious reader and unstoppable autodidact, he was particularly drawn to the study of history, philosophy, and psychology, and had a lifelong passion for good books and good conversation. Among his intellectual heroes were William James, Sigmund Freud, and the American scholar Lewis Hyde, whose book “The Gift” was influential in the early development of Burning Man philosophy. " - Stuart Mangrum

This "Library of Dust" is dedicated to Larry's legacy, his desire for knowlege and understanding of culture, and for promoting interactive and collaborative public art installations in communities outside of Black Rock City. - Prof. Pickle
