Ubik
av Philip K Dick
A classic science fiction tale of artifical worlds by one of the great American writers of the 20th centuryGlen Runciter is dead.Or is he?Someone died in the explosion orchestrated by his business rivals, but even as his funeral is scheduled, his mourning employees are receiving bewildering messages from their boss. And the world around them is warping and regressing in ways which suggest that their own time is running out.If it hasn't already.Readers minds have been blown by Ubik:'Sheer craziness, a book defying any straightforward synopsis . . . a unique time travel adventure that could only be concocted from the fertile psychedelic imagination of the incomparable PKD' Goodreads reviewer, 'This pre-cyberpunk gigglefest was an absolute joy to behold . . . I would bill it as a Truman Show-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-Barbarella-type of sci-fi' Goodreads reviewer, 'If you have not read PKD before I highly recommend Ubik as the gateway into his wonderfully weird fiction. I kind of envy you' Goodreads reviewer, 'UBIK is much stranger and more darkly humorous than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep . . . although there are many humorous elements, overall the story is dark, philosophical, and just plain disorienting. I found the book impossible to put down' Goodreads reviewer, 'A darkly humorous blurring of lines between reality and illusion and a concomitant degree of paranoia' Goodreads reviewer, 'About eighty decades ahead of its time, only Ubik can help to process the overwhelmingness of the contemporary age. Chock full of post-death theology, psionics, proto-cyberpunk, and retro-retro-retro future nostalgia' Goodreads reviewer, 'We spend a great deal of it unsure of what is real and what isn't and some of the ideas Dick manages to throw in as the story progresses had me grinning and shaking my head at the crazy logic of it all' Goodreads reviewer,

Ubik
av Philip K Dick
Philip K Dicks hyllade mästerverk romanen Ubik i översättning och med efterord av Johan Frick. Philip K Dick må vara mest känd för de berättelser som nått vita duken, som till exempel Blade Runner och Total Recall men hans produktion var mycket större än så och för de verkliga finsmakarna - de inbitna Dickkännarna - finns det några andra Dick-romaner som står högre i kurs. Mest hyllad av alla är Ubik. Vad är Ubik? Ubik är just det du behöver när du känner att du behöver något. Känner du dig hängig, slö, nere - då behöver du Ubik. Håller allting på att gå över styr, håller allting på att glida dig ur händerna - tänk då på att Ubik finns att ta till.

"Ubik är en av de mest fascinerande böcker jag någonsin läst" skriver A Aiman i The Guardian.

"Ännu mer briljant än motsvarande verk av Thomas Pynchon och Don DeLillo" enligt Roberto Bolaño.

Blade Runner
av Philip K Dick
Blade Runner räknas som ett av science fiction-litteraturens största mästerverk. Rick Deckards jobb är att spåra och avrätta (eller med en förskönande omskrivning: "dra in") förrymda mänskliga robotar, androider. Androiderna är ytterligt intrikata imitationer av människor, så människolika att de har livsvilja, självkänsla, självbevarelsedrift. En del androider vet över huvud taget inte om att de är något annat än riktiga människor, eftersom de har (falska, inplanterade) minnen av en barndom, en uppväxt, ett komplett liv. Översättning Roland Adlerberth. Efterord Johan Frick.

Man in the High Castle
av Philip K Dick
In this Hugo Award-winning alternative history classicthe basis for the Amazon Original seriesthe United States lost World War II and was subsequently divided between the Germans in the East and the Japanese in the West. It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In this world, we meet characters like Frank Frink, a dealer of counterfeit Americana who is himself hiding his Jewish ancestry; Nobusuke Tagomi, the Japanese trade minister in San Francisco, unsure of his standing within the bureaucracy and Japan's with Germany; and Juliana Frink, Frank's ex-wife, who may be more important than she realizes. These seemingly disparate characters gradually realize their connections to each other just as they realize that something is not quite right about their world. And it seems as though the answers might lie with Hawthorne Abendsen, a mysterious and reclusive author, whose best-selling novel describes a world in which the US won the War... The Man in the High Castle is Dick at his best, giving readers a harrowing vision of the world that almost was."The single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dick's career."New York Times

The Variable Man
av Philip K Dick
The Variable Man is a science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick, first published in 1953.

"He fixed things-clocks, refrigerators, vidsenders and destinies. But he had no business in the future, where the calculators could not handle him. He was Earth"s only hope-and its sure failure!"

Predictability has come a long way. The computers of the future can tell you if you"re going to win a war before you fire a shot. Unfortunately they"re predicting perpetual standoff between the Terran and Centaurian Empires.

What they need is something unpredictable, what they get is Thomas Cole, a man from the past accidently dragged forward in time. Will he fit their calculations, or is he the random variable that can break the stalemate?

The Variable Man first appeared in the September, 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine.

Philip Kendrick Dick (1928-1982) was an American science fiction author. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states.

In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime.

Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, ten popular films based on his works have been produced, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, and The Adjustment Bureau.

In 2005, Time magazine named Dick one of the one hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923. In 2007, Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in The Library of America series.
