What happens when someone with A Big Idea makes even bigger promises but fails to attend to logistical tasks and/or infrastructure? We’re sticking with our summer theme by telling the story of a beach music festival for the ultra-elite that became a trending trainwreck on social media. Charismatic entrepreneur + unquestioning yes-people + exploited local staff = a vacation that dreams (nightmares, specifically) are made of. That’s right, we’re going to Fyre Fest, and we want you to come along! We can’t promise comfortable accommodations, but we do promise insightful analysis about wealth, access, and influence in the digital age.
