In a future where psychic powers are commonplace and life after death is extended through cryogenics, Glen Runciter runs a company specializing in neutralizing psychic abilities. After an attack that seems to end his life, his employees begin to receive confusing messages from him, while the reality around them distorts and regresses in time. Ubik is a science fiction novel that explores themes of reality, perception, and the nature of existence, immersing the reader in a world where nothing is as it seems and the line between life and death becomes increasingly blurred.
