A Comment on Nova Express:
The fourth routine, "Crab Nebula," describes continuing combat on many fronts, again ending without victory for either side. This routine concentrates on analyzing the virus powers and their source, the Crab Nebula. Agent K9 visits the Insect People of Minraud, whose planet is a totalitarian society controlled by pain and fear. Everything is controlled by the Elders, described as bodiless brains: an intricate bureaucracy wired to the control brains direct all movement like a living computer. Great ovens standing at the center of the cities dispose of offenders. Associated with Burroughs's power imagery, the Insect people are the forces responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Nazi concentration camps, and the Stalinist purges. They have occupied earth by forming an alliance with the Virus Power of the Vegetable People (i.e., the sexual control of the Venusians). K9 explains the double virus infecting the soft machine (the body) and the dualistic universe of the Word. He shows how to fight the virus or redirect the machine with various kinds of cutups (called "Juxtaposition formulae")
