This book begins with quotes on Timothy Leary, one of them from William S. Burroughs: "A true visionary of the potential of the human mind and spirit."

William S. Burroughs is mentioned in an interview between Timothy Leary and William Gibson, on page 24, and in a pull quote on page 23.  This interview was excerpted from Mondo 2000, 1989.

An interview between Timothy Leary and William S. Burroughs – "Conversation with William S. Burroughs" – is on pages 94-96, accompanied by an illustration of Burroughs by Carolyn Ferris. This interview was excerpted from Mondo 2000, 1991.

At pages 172-173 is Timothy Leary's essay "On William S. Burroughs's Interzone". This was originally published in Die Welt (1990), and later in English in Off the Wall (1992).

Burroughs is mentioned at the end of "Hybernating Andy", at page 210: "The grey-haired back man warned Andy, as he did me and Bill Burroughs: Stay out of prisons and hospitals, son. Avoid ministers, priests, and rabbis. All they got is the key to the shit house. And promise me, boy, you will never wear the badge of a lawman. And if you do end up serving time in the white man's factories (complete service from womb to tomb), join a gang of friends that will cover for you. And if you have to be admitted to the disposal room (planned obsolescence is their marketing strategy), just be sure you've got friends hanging around, watching over you, day and night, lest someone make off with your beloved albino animal skin. And contents thereof."
