{"product_id":"ubik-1","title":"Ubik","description":"\"An accident has occurred. 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, \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1974, Philip K. Dick was commissioned to write a screenplay based on his novel \u003cem\u003eUbik\u003c\/em\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":"Mariner Books Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50369462272357,"sku":"9780547572697","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0538\/5573\/files\/imageloader_e619c3f0-a284-4816-bae3-1bdd87469f1b.jpg?v=1790522613","url":"https:\/\/paralleluniversebooks.com\/products\/ubik-1","provider":"Parallel Universe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
