{"product_id":"ubik-the-screenplay","title":"Ubik: The Screenplay","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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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":"Philip K.
