The Soft Machine
''The Soft Machine'' is a novel by William S. Burroughs, first published in 1961, two years after his groundbreaking ''Naked Lunch, ''and heavily revised for editions published in 1966 and 1968.'' ''It was originally composed using the cut-up technique partly from manuscripts belonging to ''The Word Hoard''. It is part of'' ''The Cut-Up Trilogy, also known as'' ''The Nova Trilogy''.
==Title and structure==
The title ''The Soft Machine'' is a name for the human body, and the main theme of the book (as explicitly written in an appendix added to the 1968, British edition) concerns how control mechanisms invade the body.
The book is written in a style close to that of ''Naked Lunch'', employing third-person singular indirect recall, though now using the cut-up method.
After the main material follow three appendices in the British edition, the first explaining the title (as mentioned above) and two accounts of Burroughs' own drug abuse and treatment using apomorphine. Here Burroughs clearly states that he considers drug abuse a metabolic disease and writes about how he finally escaped it.
