Description
From the jacket: "I am Ubik. Before the universe was, I am. I made the suns. I made the worlds. I created the lives and the places they inhabit: I move them here, I put them there. They go as I say, they do as I tell them. I am the Word and My name is never spoken, the name which no one knows. I am called Ubik, but that is not my name. I am. I shall always be." In future 1992, psychic powers and cryonic technology enable corporations. Joe Chip experiences alterations of reality that can only be reversed with Ubik, a store-bought spray.
