Also highly recommended: This is Burning Man by Brian Doherty.
Fantastic detailed history of the origins & early days, from the Suicide Club, Cacophany Society, then Burning Man.

The problem is that if you're a scientifically minded activist, you probably are working in environment where it pays to keep your mouth shut, and not say anything that could offend some regulatory busybody. That said, here's a few rationally minded psychedelic enthusiasts I enjoy reading:

Let's not overlook the very first Mutant Vehicle ever on the Playa: Pepper Mouser's Mobile Living Room. I don't think it was on-playa this year, since Pepper is recovering from knee surgery, but it has been a staple from the very beginning. I rode around on it making daiquiris for everyone on-board with a bolted-down blender on burn night 2006...that was the first and only time I met Flash too... Good times. And if you don't know who Flash is, you should go look it up.... Know your history, young burners!

it goes down roughly every labor day weekend. The cost depends on how much you want to make of your journey, but tickets are around $200. You have to consider how you will get to the desert and how you will survive once you're there. radical self-sufficiency is one of the major tenants of the festival. I suggest doing some research before you go. It might look like its all fun and games, but people get critically hurt/die out there. I suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/This-Burning-Man-American-Underground/dp/1932100865/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310247737&sr=8-1 and their website is inspiring too: http://burningman.org/
