Condensed Chaos: An Introduction to Chaos Magic by Phil Hine, published by The Original Falcon Press (Tempe, Arizona, US) in 1995. Shown is a 2nd edition, 9th printing copy. 

William S. Burroughs supplies a blurb to the back cover of this book: "Phil Hine's book is the most concise statement of the logic of modern magic. Magic, in the light of modern physics, quantum theory and probability theory is now approaching science. We hope that a result of this will be a synthesis so that science will become more magical and magic more scientific."

Although Burroughs is not mentioned within – as far as I was able to see – there are definitely Burroughsian influences ("Do Easy", mentioned at pp. 63-64, for one example).
