Seller's Description:
First edition Uk 1970. Black cloth, silver lettering. Fine in dustjacket. In this collectors opinion, the best Dick has written by far. Ask to see our other Philip K. Dick titles.
The novel by Dick that I just finished is The Man In The High Castle. Interesting story-lines but in the end I was confused about what the big deal or mys-
tery really was in the main plot. I had read it over 40 years ago and remembered liking it, but now I'm
unsure what I liked so much. Ubik is my next Dick.
That sounds strange, doesn't it?

Dick's Finest
Life turns upside-down for Joe Chip and 11 of his coworkers when they escape the aftermath of a bomb blast with the corpse of their employer. Various temporal and paranormal phenomena begin manifesting themselves, the cause of which is a mystery - and their lives may depend on solving that mystery.
Ubik is rather confusing, but in this case, to say that is actually to pay it a compliment. It's one of Dick's best novels, a highly enjoyable tale of distorted reality and bizarre metaphysics, by the end of which, Dick clears up the confusion and brings the story to a satisfying conclusion - until, that is, he throws another curveball in the final chapter.
