Lemurian Time War

Main Article Content
Abstract
A theoretical-fictional production that infringes on the conventional division of genres and invokes the very spiral templex described throughout its pages; the work was written by the CCRU based on the fictionalisation of William Kaye's account of William Burroughs' involvement in a trans-temporal occult war surrounding the writing of The Ghost Lemurs of Madagascar by Captain Mission. The text is of particular interest for its explicit development of the concept of hyperstition within the CCRU's magical-functionalist cyber-myth-ontology.
