Many people name drop Burroughs as a sign of beening hip. Every hipster doofus you have encountered has claimed to read "Naked Lunch" and possibly "Junky." Even though these works are fine works of literature, Burroughs should be known for his development of an anarchist utopia and his metaphysical systems that are an alternative to mere inert materialism and the hegenomy of montheism.
A good blog that examines Burroughs beliefs is at http://ashejournal.com/index.php?id=32
