Ubik (/ˈjuːbᵻk/EW-bik) is a 1969science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. It is one of Dick's most acclaimed novels. It was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 greatest novels since 1923. In his review for Time, critic Lev Grossman described it as "a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you'll never be sure you've woken up from."
Plot synopsis
The novel takes place in the "North American Confederation" of 1992, where civilians regularly travel to the Moon, and psi phenomena are common. The novel's protagonist, Joe Chip, is a debt-ridden technician for Glen Runciter's "prudence organization", which employs people with the ability to block psychic powers (like an anti-telepath, preventing a telepath from reading a mind) to help enforce privacy. Runciter runs the company with the assistance of his deceased wife Ella, who is kept in a state of "half-life", a form of cryonic suspension that gives the deceased limited consciousness and the ability to communicate.
This September was the first month of The Verge Book Club, and if you've been reading along, you already know that we read Philip K. Dick's rather mind-bending novel, Ubik. Here is our companion Vergecast, wherein we answer every question and solve every riddle that has ever puzzled any reader ever about the book...
If only it were so simple.
Join Joshua Topolsky, Laura June and special guest Lev Grossman as they discuss the book and Philip K. Dick the man for approximately one hour, and don't forget to join us for the October book, Foucault's Pendulum.
