Nova Trilogy books in publication order

Sort:

3 books

1

The Soft Machine

by William S Burroughs

1961

This experimental novel uses cut-up writing to challenge the forces that turn human lives into predetermined scripts. Disrupted language and shifting narrative fragments explore bodily experience, addiction, and the ways institutional control reaches into thought and perception.

2

The Ticket That Exploded

by William S Burroughs

1962

Inspector Lee and the Nova Police confront the Nova Mob in a struggle over humanity's future. Cut-up prose transforms language into a destructive contagion, combining science fiction, satire, and experiments with the mechanisms through which people are controlled.

3

Nova Express

by William S Burroughs

1964

The Nova Criminals seek domination and destruction, while Inspector Lee must dismantle the machinery of words and images they exploit. This cut-up novel combines science fiction and political satire in an attack on addiction to power and control.
