Immortality Island

<p>In Chinese mythology, there are five islands in the Bohai Sea, inhabited by immortal beings who have discovered the elixir of life. Many have searched for the islands, but no one have yet found them. I came close, however, four years ago this very week, when I travelled deep into the Nevada desert, to go to Burning Man.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m not going to talk about the festival. Its wonders are already well known. Personally, I found it quite hard in my borrowed tent that didn&rsquo;t zip up and gradually filled with sand. But I&rsquo;m glad I went, because it was my introduction to a fascinating subculture within San Francisco and Silicon Valley.</p> <p><a href="https://julesevans.medium.com/a-burning-man-for-genetic-modification-9eab2a5c3fed"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
