SALES POINTS * #26 in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written * 'One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac' - Sunday Times * 'My literary hero' -- Fay Weldon * 'For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first' -- Terry Gilliam
Another of Mr. Dick's staggeringly complex futuramas in which a group of anti-talents (they negate telepathic and precognitive abilities) are caught up in an explosion, slowly taken back in time to 1939 and spend an amazing amount of energy trying to figure out if they're alive or dead and/or if there is a clever saboteur in their midst. Ubik stands for ubiquitous. . . and Excedrin headache number 99. (Kirkus Reviews)
