Titles in this set: 1. Naked Lunch 2. Queer: 25th Anniversary Edition 3. Junky Description: Naked Lunch Nightmarish and fiercely funny, William Burroughs' virtuoso, taboo-breaking masterpiece Naked Lunch follows Bill Lee through Interzone: a surreal, orgiastic wasteland of drugs, depravity, political plots, paranoia, sadistic medical experiments and endless, gnawing addiction. One of the most shocking novels ever written, Naked Lunch is a cultural landmark, now in a restored edition incorporating Burroughs' notes on the text, alternate drafts and outtakes from the original. Queer: 25th Anniversary Edition Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, Queer is an enigma - both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, Burroughs' only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, Naked Lunch. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, Queer follows William Lee's hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene. As Lee breaks down, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges; a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the Ugly American at his ugliest. A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, Queer is also a novel with a history of secrets, as this new edition reveals. Junky A shocking exposé of the desperate subculture surrounding heroin addiction Burroughs' first novel, a largely autobiographical account of the constant cycle of drug dependency, cures and relapses, remains the most unflinching, unsentimental account of addiction ever written. Through junk neighbourhoods in New York, New Orleans and Mexico City, through time spent kicking, time spent dealing and time rolling drunks for money, through junk sickness and a sanatorium, Junky is a field report (by a writer trained in anthropology at Harvard) from the American post-war drug underground. Nurtured into being by fellow Beat Generation guru Allen Ginsberg, Junky is a cult classic that has influenced generations of writers with its raw, sparse and unapologetic tone. This definitive edition painstakingly recreates the author's original text word for word. In work and in life, William S. Burroughs (1914-1997) expressed a constant subversion of the morality, politics and economics of modern America. To escape those conditions, and in particular his treatment as a homosexual and a drug-user, Burroughs left his homeland in 1950, and soon after began writing. By the time of his death he was widely recognised as one of the most politically trenchant, culturally influential, and innovative artists of the twentieth century. His numerous books include Naked Lunch, Junky, Queer, Nova Express, Interzone, The Wild Boys, The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine.

Paranoia - The Uncooperative Board Game

The Computer rules Alpha Complex. FCCCP is a secret society that worships The Computer as a god. What happens when one of the many FCCCP popes decides she can rule Alpha Complex better than a god? Why, she starts taking over one sector at a time.Starting in IAD Sector, she will prevent a new Indigo-clearance citizen from taking control of the sectors government in the Central Processing Building. Then she will whip her followers into a frenzy over Citizens in Name Only, people who look loyal but are really terrorists. All those CINOs will be swept aside by truly loyal citizens (i.e. loyal to her) and she will remain in power. She even organises grassroots protests against those damnable CINOs.Wait, that sounds all too familiar....Citizen in Name Only is a complete mission for the Paranoia roleplaying game. Players will have two Troubleshooter teams: One that is anti-CINOs and one that is... well, not pro-CINOs per se, but at least against the FCCCP popes takeover. Thats right, players will literally fight themselves as the narrative flips between rival teams, including a climactic battle where players must plan the attack and the defence.Stealthily murdering your Team Leader has never been easier!

You know what pisses off rich people (besides poor people that is)? Not having enough to buy. What is the use of a fat bank account when you cannot buy very expensive items to show your wealth off to others?Thats why citizen Gene-I-JRD thumbed through some Pre-Whoops economic textbooks and implemented a new product: Financial investments. Now, the obscenely rich can lend their XP Points to others for a project. Too bad that Indigo citizen hired Troubleshooters to serve as middle management in this new company.Mandatory Fun is a new mission for Paranoia that satirises corporations, including the relentless drive for profits, efficiency, cost-cutting, and mandatory fun like birthday parties. (Decanting Day parties in Alpha Complex.) Players get to run a presentation to people who could easily kill them; translate a memo from corporate buzzwords to plain English; and explain to an Indigo citizen why they lost all their money. Yep, that will go over well.And in this mission, firing someone is literal.
