UBIK By Philip K Dick

Published : 1969
Pages : 224
Overall Mark : 8/10

When Glen Runciter is killed in an explosion his colleagues start to receive strange messages about their own reality. As they investigate, they discover that they are slowly regressing through time, travelling back as far as the 1930s, and that the only solution to their predicament is a strange substance known simply as Ubik.

This is a completely confusing book, but once you get to the part where things start to get explained it becomes very enjoyable. There are a few set ups at the beginning which don't immediately make sense but, as with most Dick novels, things eventually come together for a very rewarding conclusion.
