Description
William S. Burroughs' "The Revised Boy Scout Manual: An Electronic Revolution" is a satirical work that explores the use of language and social media to undermine institutions. Written in the 1960s, this piece of subversive satire has been rediscovered and published in its entirety for the first time. The work is a parody of traditional scouting manuals, but its themes of revolution and resistance remain eerily relevant today.
