Description
Was für Joe Chip und seine Kollegen als routinemässiger Anti-Psi-Einsatz beginnt, endet in
einem surrealen Albtraum. Ihr Chef Glen Runciter stirbt zwar bei einem Bombenanschlag –
doch ist er wirklich tot? Chip empfängt merkwürdige Botschaften Runciters: Werbespots im
Fernsehen, Graffitis an einer Toilettenwand, Kleingedrucktes auf Etiketten. Immer ist das
Schlüsselwort in diesen Botschaften Ubik, offenbar eine Art Mittel, das dem zunehmenden
Verfall der Welt entgegenwirkt. Und genau ein solches Mittel hat Chip nun bitter nötig, denn um
ihn herum beginnen sich die Dinge in der Zeit zurückzuentwickeln – bis im Des Moines des
Jahres 1939 die Ereignisse kulminieren …
Insightful reviews
Alexander Páez: Comentarios en el The Spoiler Club #8
? Irena ?: I read Ubik last year. It is one of those books you go back to every now and then and
it seems that every time you do, something new pops up. Treat yourself with this wonderful
story. You won't regret it.
Fewlas: Il filosofo spagnolo George Santayana disse: “L’esser sani non è che pazzia tesa al
buon uso, la vita da svegli è un sogno sotto controllo”.
A volte, mentre senza farci troppo caso, si vive inerzialmente la propria vita, capita ad un certo
punto che ci si blocchi, afferrati da un atroce dubbio.. Almeno, capita a me. E mi chiedo, quasi
inconsapevolmente, se davvero esisto, se la materialità che avverto intorno a me sia reale.
In questi momenti, che amo etichettare come “epifanie”, avverto la mia corporalità, il mio peso,
la mia esistenza. Ma questa carnale consapevolezza non fuga alcun dubbio.
Non si può svelare nulla della trama di questo libro.. se non il fatto che il Sig. Chip si ritrova ad
un certo punto a dover capire, come a volte succede a noi (o almeno, a me), cosa stia vivendo,
dove si trovi, e se qualcun altro al posto suo stia vivendo la sua esistenza.
Ubik, il libro (Ubik, la COSA, lo dovrete decidere voi stessi cosa è), è molte cose: è
fantascienza, realtà spaventosamente profetica, critica, ironia, sogno.
Il futuro di Dick mi ha sconvolto su vari livelli:
1- La sua verità: quello che, insomma, Dick ha azzeccato riguardo al futuro;
2- Il suo potenziale profetico: insomma, c’ha visto lungo su tante cose che mi ha allettato l’idea
(e ancora mi alletta) che in futuro potrò andare in giro con calzoni a mezza gamba fucsia,
pantofole rosa di pelo yak e una blusa di pelle di serpente (noo.. povero serpente, scherzo!);
3- La sua immanenza, staccata da ogni possibile sicuro attracco temporale.
Mi affido alla vecchia parabola di Chuang Tzu per la mia conclusione: un uomo sogna di essere
una farfalla, ma lui stesso potrebbe a sua volta essere una farfalla che sta sognando di essere
un uomo. Ma, allora, dove è racchiusa la nostra esistenza? In un sogno? O nella morte?
Blue: brain blown in a trippy manner just like what I felt after observing Inception (I would not be
shocked if the latter was once encouraged by means of the former). certainly my favourite PKD
novel to date.
Bryce Wilson: My favourite PKD book. No suggest feat contemplating i have learn it 5 or 6
instances and nonetheless slightly recognize what the hell is occurring within the first 3rd of the
book. nonetheless as soon as issues get metaphysical it turns into a flat out masterpiece. not
often has Dick's imaginative and prescient of the apocalypse of atrophy been given any such
stirring rendition. Like Palmer Eldritch this can be the tale of the apocalypse on an inner scale
other than the standard exterior one, and its beautiful freaking tremendous.
Darwin8u: Friends, this wild evaluate is 100 percent PKD approved. Ubik the assessment is
simply seconds away! Ubik the overview is easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, nonflammable,
and avoids without delay declaring these points of your lifestyles that will make you squirm.
secure whilst learn as directed. keep away from lengthy viewing. pay attention grammatical and
typographical errors.____________________________Dick, like Pynchon, has something for
entropy and he perfected this subject matter in Ubik. whereas no longer an instantaneous a part
of Dick's Gnostic God trilogy (VALIS, The Divine Invasion, & The Transmigration of Timothy
Archer), Ubik nonetheless manages to be certainly one of Dick's minor God novels (if the Valis
trilogy:Dick's trinity :: Ubik:Dick's Demiurge). Dick turns out greater than keen to bend complete
universes to create a global the place he can ask a few quite great questions in ways in which
provide you with extra degrees of uncertainty. What? WHAT? My first advent to Dick used to be
age 19. In a SLC airport i purchased a duplicate of Valis (cover appeared cool) and figured it'd
be a enjoyable booklet to learn on a plane. Hours later the aircraft landed and 20+ years later, i
do not believe the Earth I landed on was once almost like the single the aircraft left sooner than
me cracking open Valis. each time I learn one other of PKD's novels it's the very same thing.
whatever breaks. Time freaks out or not less than flips a bit. anything in my mind will get frozen,
anything else in my head will get lost, and a reminiscence will get replaced. each one Dick novel
may still include its personal Ubik-type of warning: this novel will adjust your reality, even if learn
as directed._______________- Robert Farwell / Edward Jones library / Mesa, AZ 2014
