Ubik

Has anyone read this?
I'm not sure i understand all of it, but what a great book this is.
I picked it up after reading an excellent article on Philip K Dick in tbis weekend's FT.

Philip K Dick is a genius. Keep reading, you will not be disappointed. I feel like he has predicted the future in some stories. Some of his short stories are incredible.

Then of course are the films….

I’m off to re-read ubik now!

It's odd, because I don't think his writing style is all that great, and you could do a whole thesis on the weird clothes his people wear. But, my goodness, what must the inside of his head been? Such incredible ideas swirling around. That's what makes me carry on reading.

I think that’s why I love him….the vivid descriptions and bonkers themes. I think I’d add him to my fantasy dinner party list! 😂

Oh yes, this book is crazy brilliant! It's been a few years since I read it, but I remember my mind being completely blown by the quality of his ideas. And totally confused by the complexity of what was going on!
