An outrageous hybrid of pulp science fiction, obscene experimental poetry, and manifesto for revolution, The Ticket That Exploded is a last-chance antidote to the virus of lies spread by the ad men and con men of the Nova Mob, a call to arms against those driving our planet toward the point of destruction. Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how cultural reach this book has expanded with the viral logic of multimedia creative methods. Like the other two volumes of Cut-Up Trilogy, The Soft Machine and Nova Express, it is today as fresh in its form and as urgent in its message as it has ever been.
