Interzone

Interzone is a fictional city featured in the works of author William S. Burroughs, particularly in his novel "Naked Lunch." It represents a chaotic, dystopian space where different elements of society—crime, corruption, and decay—intermingle. Interzone symbolizes a liminal zone of transition and uncertainty, often serving as a metaphor for the margins of civilization and the subconscious mind. It reflects themes of alienation, control, and the breakdown of social order, acting as a setting that challenges traditional perceptions of morality and reality.
