This groundbreaking work of science fiction, Nova Express, presents a dystopian future where an intergalactic war rages, fought not with conventional weapons but with language itself. The narrative chronicles the efforts of the Nova Police to combat the insidious Nova Mob, a group that manipulates reality through viral words and images. Burroughs’s signature cut-up technique permeates the text, creating a fragmented and hallucinatory experience that challenges traditional storytelling. It argues for the liberation of consciousness from control mechanisms, illustrating a world where perception is the ultimate battleground. The prose is sharp, experimental, and darkly satirical, offering a profound commentary on power, communication, and the nature of reality.
