About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1969. First edition. A novel published toward the end of Dick's extraordinary period of productivity, Ubik presents a world of parallel time periods composed of a reality so tenuous and subjective that it remains highly dubious even at the story's close. In a striking jacket designed by Peter Rauch, the white color of which makes finding a copy in collector's condition challenging. Few spots near spine head, otherwise a fine copy in cloth, with a lightly soiled dust wrapper that is faintly toned along the extremities and shows a bit of edgewear. (Barron 4-140).
Synopsis
Ubik is a 1969 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. In 2005, Time magazine named it one of the 100 greatest English-language novels published since 1923; critic Lev Grossman described it as "a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you'll never be sure you've woken up from".
