Description

The Ticket That Exploded is a provocative and urgent work that challenges the status quo. Edited and introduced by renowned scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how Burroughs' innovative creative methods have expanded the book's cultural reach.

Published in 2014, this edition of The Ticket That Exploded offers a fresh perspective on a work that remains as relevant today as it was when first written. A hybrid of pulp science fiction, experimental poetry, and manifesto for revolution, the book is a powerful critique of the forces driving society towards destruction.

As part of Burroughs' Cut-Up Trilogy, The Ticket That Exploded joins its companion works, The Soft Machine and Nova Express, in offering a searing indictment of the systems that seek to control us. This new edition provides a unique opportunity to engage with Burroughs' groundbreaking work in a new light.
