High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Electronic Revolution is an essay collection by William S. Burroughs that was first published in 1970 by Expanded Media Editions in West Germany. A second edition, published in 1971 in Cambridge, England, contained additional French translation by Jean Chopin. The entirety of The Electronic Revolution is available in later editions of The Job, a book of interviews conducted by Daniel Odier that elaborate on the topics contained therein. The book is divided into two parts. Part one, entitled "The Feedback from Watergate to the Garden of Eden" invokes Alfred Korzybski?s views characterising man as "the time binding machine" due to his ability to write. Burroughs sees the significance of a written word as a distinguishing feature of human beings which enables them to transform and convey information to future generations. He proposes the theory of "the unrecognised virus" present in the language, suggesting that, "the word has not beenrecognised as a virus because it has achieved a state of stable symbiosis with the host."
