RE: NAQUOYA'S BOOK REVIEWS | Ubik – Philip K. Dick
The rare 5 out of 5 and the seminal work that led you down the PKD path?? Definitely moving this up tens of rungs on my list. I can't say I've heard of Ubik before, so I'm quite ashamed of myself. Looking at the synopsis you wrote here, it's definitely quite interesting. I love reading "future stories" of past years since it depicted an alternate present that didn't come to pass. Sci-Fi writers are just so imaginative!
Yes, one of the rare, but necessary 5 out of 5 stars. I do have a bias towards PKD's work, but this one was always going to get the full star treatment. Ubik was one of the first of his that I read, so it has always stayed with me, the bizarreness of it, and now finally I have had the chance to reread and review.
