### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Frankenstein Book
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2019*

This manual is a bit of a Frankenstein project, as it has existed in various forms and under different titles, and in different mediums. At times the story of how this book was constructed is more interesting than the actual material by Burroughs. This “definitive” version is cobbled together from eight different print sources and the transcripts from three 90 minute tapes called either The Revised Boy Scout Manual or An Electronic Revolution, along with a few paragraphs originally published in The Job.Ostensibly, this is a manual to discuss becoming a terrorist (or “radical”) and proper action to take to destroy the system. As per usual in a Burroughs book, it degenerates into revenge and sex fantasies, then blathers on about some cut-up sound techniques to affect reality and drive people in a certain direction. Much of this has been stated by him before in other books. As such, perhaps the first thirty pages of the book is the most interesting.Whether this is meant to be a serious work is a lightly debated topic on those who read Burroughs. Whether he meant it to or not, it’s completely impractical and thus doesn’t matter. As usual, he shows his love for the pseudo-science of L. Ron Hubbard and Wilhelm Reich, so much of his “combat” techniques are mired in their insanity. Who knows if he believed it? Perhaps in his more drug addled moments it all seemed plausible, but if so, he certainly took none of the actions discussed in this book while sober. However the emotions behind the words are most certainly authentic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    William S. Burroughs is pretty incomprehensible and shocking
  

*by H***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2018*

And if you're buying any of his books, I strongly suspect you know this. This book has at least three forwards from different authors that speculate that the work was satire, irony, and any number of other things.I disagree. This is a collection of angry rants about the government from a moderately crazy person. If you like William S. Burroughs, you'll probably like this book. If you don't, you don't. If you've never read any of his work before, I wouldn't recommend starting with this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An old standard that never was
  

*by X***3 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2019*

A fine “CIA”-style manual on chaos magick warfare.  Like 1984, it would seem that modern powers that be have read Burroughs and used his tactics against us.  Ha, just kidding.  It’s all satire....
