UBIK

Philip K. Dick
Ubik
1969
Plot Summary:
Glen Runciter is dead. Or is everybody else? Someone died in an explosion orchestrated by Runciter's business competitors. And, indeed, it's the kingly Runciter whose funeral is scheduled in Des Miones. But in the meantime, his mourning employees are receiving bewildering - and sometimes scatological - messages from their boss. And the world around them is warping in ways that suggest that their own time is running out. Or already has.

Philip K. Dick's searing methaphysical comedy of desth and salvation (the latter available in a convenient spray) is tour de force of paranoic menace and unfettered splastick, in which the departed give business advice, shop for their next incarnation, and run the continual risk of dying yet again.
