The Ticket That Exploded
(1962)(The second book in the Nova Trilogy series)
A novel by William S Burroughs
"Earth was under attack, but by whom? The Insect People of Minraud? The Nova Mob? The 'White Hunters'? Representatives of Hassan i Sabbah or the White Goddess?" "Language is the worn coin pressed silently into my hand. Inspector J. Lee of the Nova Police knew them by many names - but he only knew one way to stop them." "The only weapon was silence: silence to say goodbye - by silence to say good. 'You see, gentlemen, what we call history is the history of the word - and the word is a killer virus...'" A prophetic vision of a world in which technology has gone haywire, The Ticket that Exploded completes the classic trilogy begun by The Naked Lunch and continued with The Soft Machine.
