SUMMARY:UBIK - Philip K. Dick
DESCRIPTION:Chip works for Glen Runciter's anti-psi security agency\, which
  hires out its talents to block telepathic snooping and paranormal dirty t
 ricks. When its special team tackles a big job on the Moon\, something goe
 s badly wrong. Runciter is killed\, it seems--but messages from him now ap
 pear on toilet walls\, traffic tickets or product labels. Meanwhile fragme
 nts of reality are time-slipping into past versions: Joe Chip's beloved st
 ereo system reverts to a hand-cranked 78 player with bamboo needles. Why d
 oes Runciter's face appear on US coins? Why the repeated ads for a hard-to
 -find universal panacea called Ubik ("safe when taken as directed")?\n\nUb
 ik is a 1969 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. In 2
 005\, Time magazine named it one of the 100 greatest English-language nove
 ls published since 1923\; critic Lev Grossman described it as "a deeply un
 settling existential horror story\, a nightmare you'll never be sure you'v
 e woken up from."\n\n\n\n50p from each RPVP will help pay for our full sup
 porters membership of London's bid to host the 72nd World Science Fiction 
 Convention in 2014.\n\n
