The Ticket That Exploded The Ticket That Exploded is a 1962 novel by American author William S. Burroughs, published by Olympia Press and later by Grove Press in 1967. Together with "The Soft Machine" and "Nova Express" it is part of a trilogy, referred to as "The Nova Trilogy", created using the cut-up technique, although for this book Burroughs used a variant called 'the fold-in' method. The novel is an anarchic tale concerning mind control by psychic, electronic, sexual, pharmaceutical, subliminal, and other means. Passages from the other two books and even from this book show up in rearranged form and are often repeated. This work is significant for fans of Burroughs, in that it describes his idea of language as a virus and his philosophy of the cut-up technique. Also, it features the cut-up technique being used by characters within the story. "The Ticket That Exploded" lays the groundwork for Burroughs' ideas of social revolution through technology, which he would later detail in his book-length essay "The Electronic Revolution".
