Review of 'Ubik' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

Yet another interesting sci-fi piece from PKD. Even though I felt like I 'figured' out what was happening rather early on, the book was still quite engrossing and satisfying to read. Dick really does a good job at setting up a strange and believable future without creating a complex and exhausting backstory. There were a few parts where the book seems to come of the rails, but for the most part is a very solid story. Would recommend if you are a fan of existential sci-fi.
