Publisher's Synopsis
In 1974, Philip K. Dick was commissioned to write a screenplay based on his novel Ubik. The film was eventually scrapped, but the screenplay was saved and later published in 1985. Featuring scenes that are not in the book and a surreal playfulness-the style of the writing goes back in time just like the technology in the book's dreamworld-this screenplay is the only one Dick wrote and features his signature mix of paranoia, humor, and big-idea philosophy.
