1. • • Ubik is one of Dick's most acclaimed novels. In 2009, 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".

   Is Ubik a good book?

   • Each Dick novel should come with its own Ubik-type of warning: this novel will alter your reality, even when read as directed. Ubik is grossly caricaturistic – a smart projection of contemporary absurdity into the future… In this colourful dystopia the future is rather preposterous than bleak… Gorgeous madness… Abilities and counter abilities…

   What makes Ubik a good writer?

   • Ubik's genius emerges in Dick's obsessive attention to detail. He's a remarkably disciplined writer for a guy who sounds completely messed up (more on his biography in a second). The novel never goes dry; Dick balances the esoteric, theoretical analysis with an urgent storyline.

   Is Ubik a good book for a PKD fan?

   • For a PKD fan, Ubik is a must read, but it is a fine book all by itself and would be a good introduction into his world. ** 2019 addendum - it is a testament to great literature that a reader recalls the work years later and this is a book about which I frequently think. One of the all time great science fiction novels.

   Is Ubik a good movie?

   • It is altogether bizarre, thought-provoking, visionary and hugely funny. Ubik is the work of a mad genius - and it has immediately gatecrashed my favourites list. The ending is as enigmatic as its beginning and is open to any number of interpretations. Here, for sure, the journey is get-down-boogiewoogie-fabulous.

   Dec 6, 2017 · Ubik by Philip K. Dick. By Chris Mahon. December 6, 2017. 3. I first heard about this book when reading through Philip K. Dick’s biography, I Am Alive and You Are Dead, which took its title from one of the more chilling lines in Ubik. It seemed to have everything I could ever want: existential crises, meditations on eternity, entropy, and the ...
