Ubik
Posted by Felix Enescu on August 25th, 2006
I am a fan of hard SF and I like cyber punk (i.e. I love “Burning Chrome” of William Gibson). Despite this, when it’s about alternate reality I prefer “The Man in the High Castle”.
Ubik is somehow stuck between two genres. It has something from “The Man in the High Castle” and something different. Many times, I felt like reading an “epic” story (almost Asimov). And exactly when I thought I get it, the story got a twist sending me again into unknown.
For me, Ubik was almost like a roller coaster.
