Agents of Chaos: Thomas King Forçade, High Times, and the Paranoid End of the 1970s by Sean Howe, published by Hachette Books (NYC) in 2023. Cover design by Amanda Kain, with illustration by Bill Sienkiewicz.

This book is an enjoyable biography on Thomas King Forçade, and includes a few minor mentions of Burroughs, including a recounting of an dinner organized by Victor Bockris at the Tropicana Hotel (approximately September 1978), where Forçade, Burroughs, Christopher Isherwood, Kenneth Tynan, Timothy Leary, and John Paul Getty Jr. were all in attendance.

To note, Burroughs was published in multiple issues of High Times magazine, which was edited by Forçade at the time, in the late 1970s.
