This is the second novel, alongside The Soft Machine and Nova Express, in William Burroughs classic Cut-Up Trilogy. A prophetic vision of a world in which technology has gone haywire, The Ticket That Exploded continues the adventures of Agent Lee in his mission to investigate and subvert the methods of mind control being used by The Nova Mob. Experimental, unnerving and compelling in equal measure, this is a completely original work of science fiction and a gripping moral and political fable from post-war America`s most controversial and influential writer.
