my go to always. thanks for this brilliant piece of bill lee

[@leperwolf7287]

I found Burroughs's works completely on accident and was hooked like a junky ever since.

[@KJ-xc6qs]

Insightful, articulate genius!

[@patrickmccormack4318]

I'm twisting with the fact of being the first to comment. Burroughs talks about Blade Runner, Alan Nourse and the movie. Funny how Burroughs didn't mention the author Philip K. Dick.

[@l____m____9212]

given how both authors were strongly influenced by substance abuse, i wonder what his thoughts on Dick would have been.

[@Rubin4749]

I suspect because the title of the film was taken from his writing, and the film was so popular, Burroughs purposely kept that vague. That's only based on my own conjecture.

[@zetetick395]

Both men had hugely fertile paranoid imaginations,
I imagine they'd either really dig each other or not get along AT ALL.

[@Johnconno]

The book is atrocious.

[@markzucker3949]

Hearing this makes me feel down to earth. He practiced telepathy, and mastered manipulation

[@ThomasBotte]

It’s Zeitgeist, not timeghost

[@claykline2830]

same thing, Zeitgeist is german for it. "time" + "spirit" but saying ghost instead of spirit shows a more dead connotation. Honestly I'm gonna start calling it that from now on instead lol
