5.0�toiles sur 5 "Smash The Control Machine!"-K9 the pilot, Janv. 4 2002

Par	S. R Robertson "crap basket" (Oh Henry?) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Soft Machine (Paperback)

This is possibly my favorite, I remember a lot about it. Just as if not more so on the lines of Wild Boys, except those boys are replaced renegade military types who go haywire and destroy the civilized control towers and such with the ubiquitous words "Calling partisans of all nations-Shift linquals, vibrate tourists-Word falling, photo falling-break through in grey room!" Wonderful. Mostly stream-of-conciousness, including the immensely garbled and mind blowing (atleast to me) chapter "Trak!Trak!Trak!" (either that or Trek)...he just keeps going and going, but not like the Energizer Bunny becuase that peice of fluffy pink machinery is a commercialized 'soft machine' and Burroughs is its arch enemy. Wouldn't it just be marvelous if the 2 duked it out on some adulterated Japanese animation like Cowboy Bebob? Err. BREAK THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE...OF LITERATURE AND LUNACY!

Other particularly memorable scenes that stuck in my internal synapses include a chapter where a news reporter infiltrates backward Mayan codices (where a hollogram image of an old master controls the migrant workers) and penetrates the machine and punches the hollogram in the gut and screams out freedom and aw, it was beautiful. Also feast your eyes on voodoo doctors taking advantage of their drug induced patients, boys in the forgotten hills, traveling shifty, where am I going with this? Whatever, just read it, boys and girls.

5.0�toiles sur 5 If you liked N.B.K. then you'll like this educational book, Juil 29 2000

Par	Dillon Culp (National City, California United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Soft Machine (Paperback)

When I first started reading this book not much of it made any sense. I just let it from whatever it had to feed in my right brain (visuals). The second step came on the chapter Public Agent where I kept with the imaging and connected this imaging together so that it made some intellictual sense. From these experiences I found out that in this book Burroughs communicates in a language that streams together the sound, image,word. This book with its cut/up induces creativity and will also boost anybody's vocabulary skills. If you liked the cut/up used in Natural Born Killers then you'll like this book,which Natural Born Killers was probably born from.

5.0�toiles sur 5 the best part, Mars 28 2000

Par	Terry "tmhallett" - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Soft Machine (Paperback)

I think the genius comes in when Burroughs takes the stories apart and scrambles them back together to make silly but surreptitiously truthful little sideswipes at reality.

Well Burroughs fans. I'd have to say that this one was saturated in the normal Burroughs magic; however, there was also an inaccessible amount of babble in the cut-up style. Read more
