Editing Disconnection (Scientology) (section)

==In popular culture==
[[William S. Burroughs]], who briefly dabbled with Scientology, wrote extensively about it during the late 1960s, weaving some of its jargon into his fictional works, as well as authoring nonfiction essays about it. He uses the term "Disconnect" in a Scientological context in ''[[Ali's Smile: Naked Scientology]]'' and other works. In the end, however, he abandoned Scientology and publicly criticized it in an editorial for the ''[[Los Angeles Free Press]]'' in 1970.<ref>{{cite news|last = Burroughs|first = William S.|title = William S.
