Joe Chip and his colleagues--all but one of them--have narrowly escaped an explosion at a moon base. Or is it the other way round? Did Joe and the others die, and did the one fatality, Glen Runciter, actually survive? . . . From the stuff of space opera, Dick spins a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you'll never be sure you've woken up from.--Lev Grossman, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1974, Philip K. Dick was commissioned to write a screenplay based on his novel \u003ci\u003eUbik\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49872335438097,"sku":"CIN1596061693G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1596061693.jpg?v=1750992156","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/ubik-the-screenplay-book-philip-k-dick-9781596061699","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
