Un'odissea spaziale terrificante e surreale, The Soft Machine ha dato inizio alla trilogia Cut-Up di Burroughs che include Nova Express e The Ticket That Exploded. Il libro trascina il lettore in uno spazio testuale inesplorabile, dove nulla è vero e tutto è permesso, per dare un assalto totale ai poteri colonizzatori del pianeta Terra che ci hanno trasformato tutti in macchine. Curata e introdotta dal rinomato studioso di Burroughs Oliver Harris, questa nuova edizione chiarisce per la prima volta la straordinaria storia della scrittura e della riscrittura di The Soft Machine, demolendo i miti dei metodi di scrittura basati sul caso di Burroughs e dimostrando a una nuova generazione il significato del suo più grande esperimento.

William S Burroughs (Author)
William S. Burroughs was born on February 5, 1914 in St Louis. In work and in life Burroughs expressed a lifelong subversion of the morality, politics and economics of modern America. To escape those conditions, and in particular his treatment as a homosexual and a drug-user, Burroughs left his homeland in 1950, and soon after began writing. By the time of his death he was widely recognised as one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the twentieth century. His numerous books include Naked Lunch, Junky, Queer, Nova Express, Interzone, The Wild Boys, The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine. After living in Mexico City, Tangier, Paris, and London, Burroughs finally returned to America in 1974. He died in 1997.
