«The Ticket That Exploded» is the science fiction novel by William Burroughs, published by Fourth Estate in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Second installment of William Burroughs's Cut-Up trilogy, in which agent Lee tries to dismantle the Nova Mob's methods of mind control. The action takes place in a world where technology has run out of control; the result is an experimental work of science fiction that also functions as a moral and political fable.
The work belongs to the Nova Trilogy, also called the Cut-Up Trilogy, completed by The Soft Machine and Nova Express. The edition was published on April 29, 2010.
Aimed at readers of experimental science fiction and followers of the Beat generation.
William Seward Burroughs II was an American writer and visual artist. He is widely considered a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodern author who influenced both underground and popular culture and literature. Much of Burroughs's work is highly experimental and features unreliable narrators. Also noted as semi-autobiographical, his work often drew from his experiences with drug addiction, and featured his various places of residence as settings in much of his work. With Brion Gysin, Burroughs popularized the cut-up, an aleatory literary technique. His writing also engaged frequent mystical, occult, or otherwise magical themes, constant preoccupations in both his fiction and real life.
