Their Cut Up experiments changed the course of modern fiction and had a profound effect on man from nowhere film and rock music. Their obsession with wild heretical actions of Hassan i Sabbah bore witness to their standing as true rebels. Above all else they challenged accepted notions of morality whenever to the rules of society.
They socialised with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Eleanor Roosevelt, from Helena Rubenstein to Iggy Pop, from André Breton to Ornoette Coleman, from Andy Warhol to Paul Bowles. They aced, sang, wrote, painted, and lived. Drugs and sex were a vital part of thir universe. They were men ahead of their time, with roots in no particular time.

Through a series of interconnected essays, the authors look at the part that Brion Gysin played in the dawnfall of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, the experimental movies that Burroughs and Gysin made with Antony Balch, and the invention of the Cut Up method.
