This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the many points in the novel, after the surprise attack on Glen Runciter, Joe Chip, and the entire team of the inertials, where a seemingly dead and in cold-pac Runciter breaks through into the "reality" of those who think themselves survivors. At first this happens through strange written interventions, like a matchbook cover, graffiti, and notes, and through Runciter appearing on currency. As time goes on, the manifestations extend to video and even a meeting between Joe Chip and Glen Runciter.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the experience of bone-chilling cold, exhaustion and fatigue, and eventual death of a particularly gruesome sort that several of the characters experience once they are in cold-pac and in half-life. At first, they think that it is being caused by Pat Conley, who even thinks that to be the case herself, but it is actually the effect of Jory, a young man in half life, who is "eating" the other half-lifers. The main character, Joe Chip experiences this himself, but is saved for the moment by the application of Ubik in the form of a spray can To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get a copy of Ubik here - https://amzn.to/4k8i348
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one main theme of the novel, which is the characters noticing a pattern of objects at first being spoiled or worn out, then reverting to earlier obsolete forms, eventually affecting not just individual objects or even rooms but entire settings in which they find themselves. The examples focused upon include cigarettes, coffee and cream, coins and bills, a tape-recorder, appliances, an elevator, vehicles, and even Ubik itself. This mystery gets a resolution late in the novel when we discover that they are a result of Jory's inability to maintain a consistent phatasmagoric reality for his soon-to-be victims in half-life.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the ambush that Ray Hollis engineers, using Stanton Mick's company, based on the moon, as a potential new client for Runciter Associates. Glen Runciter, Joe Chip, and a team of 11 inertials (anti-psionic talents) fly to the location. They are asked not to take readings, which Joe Chip does anyways, discovering that Mick is actually a bomb in human disguise. It turns out that there is a conspiracy that had been laid for quite a while, involving Hollis and his organization, perhaps Mick, Pat Conley, and Runciter's talent scout Ashwood.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the team of eleven "inertials," that is anti-psionic talents assembled by Glen Runciter to go to the lunar location of businessman Stanton Mick's company, and do a job eliminating the effects of various psionic talents, likely employed by Ray Hollis. The team includes 4 anti-precogs, 4 anti-telepaths, 1 anti-animator, 1 anti-psychokineticist, and the as yet not entirely understood talent of Pat Conley. Runciter and tester Joe Chip accompany them.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the seemingly background characters who turns out to be very important by the end of the story, Ella Hyde Runciter, who died at just 20 years old and has been in half-life for decades. She and other "responsible half-lifers" created Ubik in order to counteract the depredations of Jory, who consumes the life of other half-lifers, and she provides Joe Chip not only with vital information but also a guarantee of a lifetime supply of Ubik To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get a copy of Ubik here - https://amzn.to/4k8i348

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one important character we meet early on in the work, Pat Conley, who has a seemingly new psionic talent, the ability to go back and change the past, which then alters the present, allowing her to nullify the talents of precogs in a different way. She is brought to Joe Chip's apartment for testing of her abilities, and uses her talent when he first submits a report advising not to hire her and then a fake report of her having a high level of talent but also being dangerous. For some time in the novel, Joe and Glen Runciter believe her to be the main antagonistic force causing the deaths of other team members, but it turns out that she is not, and that she herself is mistaken about that To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get a copy of Ubik here - https://amzn.to/4k8i348

Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the important characters we meet early on in the work, Glen Runciter, the aged but very dynamic head of Runicter Associates, a "prudence organization", which he heads, getting advice from his dead wife in cold-pac half-life when needed.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the characters we meet early on in the work, the owner of the Beloved Brethren Moratorium in Zurich, Switzerland, Herbert Schönheit Von Vogelsang. He seems to be a rather unctuous, somewhat cringing business owner type, catering to his clients and providing the service of half-life to allow them to continue some kind of existence and interaction after the death of their bodies. As it turns out, Von Vogelsang is also on the take, allowing a malevolent entity, the half-lifer Jory, to consume other people in half-life in his moratorium, paid by Jory's family to facilitate that happening.

Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the role that "prudence organizations", that is companies that employ anti-psionic talents or "inertials" to block or combat psionic talents, play in the world of the novel. These prudence organizations also belong to a "society" which engages in action on their behalf against companies that employ psionic talents like telepaths and precogs. We get a glimpse of the kinds of advertisement appeals made by prudence organizations early on in the novel as well.

Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the central themes involved in the plot and worldbuilding of the story, namely the existence of psionic talents such as telepathy and precognition, and the existence of anti-psionic talents (called inertials) that nullify those psionic talents.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the key features of the narrative world Dick develops in the story, namely the technology of Cold-Pac, which allows people who have experienced bodily death to be kept at cold temperatures and have their brains and thereby consciousnesses maintained, extending them for a while into "half-life". They do eventually run down and die after their energies are exhausted, and perhaps are reincarnated or have their consciousness simply drift off into space. Within half-life, there are some predatorial people who consume the lives of other people in order to extend their own half-lives.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on the advertisement copy framing Ubik as a variety of different commodities and services that begin nearly each chapter of the novel. Most of them also include cautions that the product must only be used as directed.

Today on the 5: In a scenario that Philip K. Dick would surely appreciate, I misremembered having read the novel Ubik before. I just finished what I thought was a second reading of the well known book and by the time I finished I realized I had mixed it up with another book. Fitting!

Dutch techno pioneer Jeroen Schrijvershof, alias Jeroen Search, needs no introduction. To those who've been living under a rock for the past three decades, just google his name and you'll be drawn into an endless sea of links, vids, bios, event pages, and all kinds of past and present prowesses vouching for the man's incredible career so we'll leave it at that. Having graced the grooves of our record label with the magnetic ‘Enigma' EP back in 2022, the man is now back with a much anticipated podcast - made up of 100% OG Jeroen material - that shall have a tsunami of modular signals, chiselled 909 onslaughts and Ubik-uitous floor narratives break loose to entrancing effect. Better buckle your belt, for when Jeroen Search steps on the gas, you simply don't want to end up flying through the windshield. So to speak.

Well, strugglers, if you get bored of being over-lore'd - then this chapter might just bore you to death! We, on the other hand, love gettin' DEEP into the inner workings of The God Hand, the Invocation of Doom, how the Brand of Sacrifice works, what color are Void's, Ubik's and Conrads eyes under their various slits, stitches and goggles?! It's an all supernatural extravaganza, with a special appearance by Hell itself in these final chapters of “The Guardians of Desire” sub-arc. Plus, we perfectly set the stage for The Golden Age Arc beginning next episode! Griffith here we COME. Intro violin theme by Ryan, and mixed by Steve. The theme was inspired by long-time Berserk composer, Susumu Hirasawa's, ‘Sign 2.'

He was tired of people—a "human interest" columnist, who specializes in glamorizations of the commonplace and sordid is likely to get that way.

In this episode we discussed 'Ubik' (1969) by Philip K. Dick, a piece of iconic science-fiction set in a world of psychic corporate espionage and dead relatives suspended in perpetual "halflife". Throughout the novel Gnostic and Platonic philosophy exude through perpetually inventive interpretations of advertising culture, psychotic mental states and satire of domestic mod cons. We talked about Dick's fixation on material culture as it appears in his other stories 'The Man in the High Castle' (1962) and 'Pay for the Printer' (1956).
