Ubik (/ ˈ juː b ɪ k / YOO-bik) is a science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. The story is set in a future where psychic powers are utilized in corporate espionage, while cryonic technology allows recently deceased people to be maintained in a lengthy state of hibernation. Ubik is one of Dick's more upbeat books, reading more like a high paced action movie than some of his deeper more psychological stories. Instead of creating too many internal questions there is lots of dialogue and a quickly changing environment from apartment rooms, to office blocks, the moon and the virtual world. Written in and published in , Ubik is Philip K Dick's twenty-fifth published novel. PKD's abiding themes were 'What is reality?' and 'What is it to be human?' and it is perhaps the first that is explored most obviously.
