	Ubik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ubik is a 1969 science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick.
		The term Ubik comes from the Latin word ubique, which means “everywhere.” It is also the source of the English language word ubiquitous, which means being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time.
		This may be considered ironic, considering that Ubik is much sought-after and rare in the novel, but it may also indicate that Ubik is a life-force of sorts.

	Dick: Ubik
		He died in 1982, spending his final years in the grip of a belief that he was the recipient of some kind of divine enlightenment.
		Ubik is among his most highly regarded novels.
		There's a rather unhinged page about Ubik from someone who seems to have written a masters thesis on it.

	B<udebug> - Reports status of Ubik process associated with a database server process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The udebug function returns the status of the lightweight Ubik process for the database server process identified by the port argument that is running on the database server machine named by the server argument.
		The Ubik process continues voting for the current coordinator as long as they remain in contact, which provides for maximum stability.
		However, in the event of another coordinator election, this Ubik process votes for the lowestHost site instead (assuming they are in contact), because it has a bias to vote in elections for the site with the lowest IP address.

	k-punk: Ubik as petit objet a
		Everyone knows that the moment of vertigo in a Philip K Dick novel occurs not when one level of reality has been exposed as fake, but when the second level, the supposedly more real level, turns out to be inauthentic too.
		In Ubik Joe Chip's reality famously corrodes, devolves, falls prey to the entropy that is one of the ruling forces in Dick's cosmos (and ours).
		Ubik, which appears in the narrative (and in the ad-parody epigraphs of each chapter) as a diversity of commodities, seems to promise fullness, a being restored to plenitude.

	UBIK Architects - Projects -
		The concept (developed by BTC and Ubik) was to create some buildings that could dwell the three cultures: Vietnamese, Thai and European.
		As this this project is within a cooperation program, UBIK used local materials as much as possible.
		The roof is made with hatch with a metal underlay for waterproofing: the 20cm thick thatch also provides a natural thermal insulation.

	Ubik - Reader Review - GameFAQs
		Ubik is based upon the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, a great sci-fi author who used futuristic trappings to explore the nature of reality and the attitude of humans toward it.
		I've not read Ubik itself, but it would seem to feature many of Dick's usual concerns (reality, death, chemicals) and the game does a pretty good job of echoing some of Dick's famous paranoia.
		That the story fails to tell itself adequately (I still don't really know what Ubik is supposed to be) is made up for by the fact that it feels tremendously, weirdly unlike any other video game plot.

	Philip K. Dick Biography
		He is UBIK, a negentropic force in a universe that is forever running itself down (9).
		The Roman Sybil in her later Christianized form was a particular favorite of Phil's; her similarity to Jane as Phil's "protectress" was the attraction.
		Note also that the much-sought product UBIK in Phil's novel of the same name is depicted on the dustjacket of the original as spraying a pink substance.

	Ubik (Vintage) id (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.
		Written as a satirical metaphysical comedy Philip K. Dick's delivers on a highly heady tale of anti-precogs in alternative realities predicting the future by manipulating the past in a suspenseful light hearted detective mystery tale that is the perfect intoxicating mind stimulation that the reader seeking original creative science-fiction writing needs.
		UBIK is the UBIK we search for in our lives, tales that keep us going, beautifully crafted - a theory of life within a theory of life - the endless possibilities of UBIK make it an instant science-fiction classic by the master of science-fiction.

	UBIK by Philip K. Dick
		Compounding his problem is the insistent reappearance of ‘dead’ Glen Runciter on all forms of media, including television, advertising the new wonder cure-all Ubik that Joe is unable to get hold of.
		The gradual disintegration of the Joe's world is documented with a fine eye for detail and period.
		You can never be quite sure where you are in ‘Ubik’ and it constantly addresses the question of ‘just what is reality anyway?’ It was written in the late 1960's but feels surprisingly modern with its paranoid futuristic visions.

	Looking for UBIK at AltaVista (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At any rate, it sure worked that way for me. I asked the milk man to bring me UBIK, but he didn't know what it was so I loaned him (and many others) Ubik.
		Subsequently, I went on to grad school, a mistake I was later to repeat.
		I'd been seeing manifestations of UBIK for several years but now it was manifestations of Phil himself that appeared...in my daughter's play (Have to take a break and read my Philip K. Dick letters), in my photo album, and in my dreams (he always said we had a strange relationship after we went to bed).

		Normally, I would expect it to distract the story line, but instead I found it entertaining.
		In Ubik, Dick imagines a future in which all appliances in a conapt (condominium apartment?), even the front door, require coin deposits to function.
		Ubik is written as a facetious story about fear of death and the number of commercial products that are marketed to our underlying fears.

	Philip K. Dick
		At the end of the novel Dick made his own choice: "I saw enough in the future not to ever give up, even if I'm the only one who doesn't succumb, who's still keeping the old way alive, the pre-Palmer Eldritch way.
		It's nothing more than faith in powers implanted in me from the start which I can - in the end - draw on and beat him with." UBIK (1969) the dead come back to invade the realities of the living.
		FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID (1974) was also adapted into stage by Linda Hartinian in New York and won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award.
