He and I had corresponded years before and then lost touch so, naturally, I gleefully emailed him on the spot.
So I drummed up my courage, told myself that I was at least metaphysically tall, talked fast, dropped Pirandello's name and observed that the background music in Ubik was in Latin: and *whew* my committee approved.

 UBIK by Philip K. Dick
You can never be quite sure where you are in ‘Ubik’ and it constantly addresses the question of ‘just what is reality anyway?’ It was written in the late 1960's but feels surprisingly modern with its paranoid futuristic visions.
Philip K. Dick presents us with a world many will be familiar with through his other novels or recent big-screen interpretations.
This quality has been emphasised in film adaptations of other Philip K. Dick novels.

 Ubik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cover of the 1970 Dell paperback edition of Ubik
The term Ubik comes from the Latin word ubique, which means “everywhere.” It is also the source of the English language word ubiquitous, which means being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time.
This may be considered ironic, considering that Ubik is much sought-after and rare in the novel, but it may also indicate that Ubik is a life-force of sorts.

 Ubik (Vintage) id
Written as a satirical metaphysical comedy Philip K. Dick's delivers on a highly heady tale of anti-precogs in alternative realities predicting the future by manipulating the past in a suspenseful light hearted detective mystery tale that is the perfect intoxicating mind stimulation that the reader seeking original creative science-fiction writing needs.
UBIK is the UBIK we search for in our lives, tales that keep us going, beautifully crafted - a theory of life within a theory of life - the endless possibilities of UBIK make it an instant science-fiction classic by the master of science-fiction.
Ubik is one of Dick's more upbeat books, reading more like a high paced action movie than some of his deeper more psychological stories.

I couldn't help but think of Don DeLillo's White Noise a few times while reading this book.
This makes for some humorous situations for our lead character, Joe Chip, who never has a nickel to his name.
Ubik is written as a facetious story about fear of death and the number of commercial products that are marketed to our underlying fears.

 Ubik
Ubik is a novel by Philip K. Dick, published in 1969 and considered to be one of his stranger works.
While its distinction between real and unreal, obscured by the perception of the main character(s), is actually very common in his work, what sets this work apart is that this distinction is blurred in more than one way.

 Dick: Ubik
Ubik is among his most highly regarded novels.
He died in 1982, spending his final years in the grip of a belief that he was the recipient of some kind of divine enlightenment.
There's a rather unhinged page about Ubik from someone who seems to have written a masters thesis on it.

 k-punk: Ubik as petit objet a
Ubik, which appears in the narrative (and in the ad-parody epigraphs of each chapter) as a diversity of commodities, seems to promise fullness, a being restored to plenitude.
In Ubik Joe Chip's reality famously corrodes, devolves, falls prey to the entropy that is one of the ruling forces in Dick's cosmos (and ours).
Everyone knows that the moment of vertigo in a Philip K Dick novel occurs not when one level of reality has been exposed as fake, but when the second level, the supposedly more real level, turns out to be inauthentic too.

 Philip K. Dick Biography
The Roman Sybil in her later Christianized form was a particular favorite of Phil's; her similarity to Jane as Phil's "protectress" was the attraction.
The connection is further made in VALIS when Phil and friends mistake a model of the satellite for a can lying in the gutter (in the movie-within-a- book).
Note also that the much-sought product UBIK in Phil's novel of the same name is depicted on the dustjacket of the original as spraying a pink substance.
