@4nd3rs @jenspoder Jeg har genlæst #Ubik 4 gange og opdager noget nyt ved den hver gang.
Ubik by PKD
Here’s a reel that depicts what I intended to be the overall experience of holding and opening this book. The dust cover depicts the Ubik and the advertisement on the back in relatively normal fashion, only to be revealed as distorted and regressed once the dust cover is removed. All the ads for each chapter in the book are similarly designed.

I went all out on this one. It was a LOT of work: Hand painted end papers, original cover design, original typeset (made in MS Word), custom vintage advertisements, hand sewn endbands, and chisel-trimmed fore edge.
And when all was said and done, I found a glaring typo while flipping through the finished product.
Oh well. It happens.
Particular plugin deficiency* in WordPress has got me thinking about nickel-&-dime monetization. Kinda-sorta works OK if it's just about this one website you're building, but what if it's every fucking thing in your life? Your door refusing to let you into the apartment a la Joe Chip in #Ubik? #PKD

Hey, you have any Runciter coins or even a Joe Chip fifty-cent piece on you? I need some #Ubik spray-on reality
I truly, truly abhor that there is big-name software out there, the behaviour of which is bolstering the positions of the right-wing, the anti-woke, and other reactionary brigades

I just finished, and quite enjoyed Philip K Dicks #Ubik.
Any suggestions on which of his novels I should pick up next?
I am completely enchanted with this. A Russian-English dual language edition of #UBIK from 2013. This is from the graphic artist's (and book designer's?) portfolio.
It appears this is a (really good) dummy, or possibly an artifact from a parallel world.
Wunderbar, arte wiederholt die PKD-Doku: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/051147-000-A/philip-k-dick-und-wie-er-die-welt-sah/ #philipkdick #pkd #sciencefiction #valis #ubik #scannerdarkly #totalrecall (free stream, languages that can be chosen: german, french, english.)
J'ai joué chez un pote avec qui je partageais une passion pour K. Dick au #Ubik de #Cryo, ou plutôt j'ai essayé d'y jouer, ce qui n'était pas gagné tant le jeu était buggué et mal foutu. Pas rancunier, je l'ai acheté pour trois fois rien en #bigbox des années plus tard mais c'est vraiment parce que c'est Dick et que la boîte était assez classe.
Actuellement au bar l'#Ubik à #Nantes.
Bien sur faire une vasectomie ne veut pas dire qu'on est contre l'avortement !

Ho appena finito #Ubik di Philip K. Dick. Che viaggio, gente.
Ora mi aspetta Snow Crash di N. Stephenson.
@ablackcatstail I think it was in #Ubik where Philip K Dick had one of his characters unable to afford the nickel to unlock his front door. He had to borrow it from a visitor.
#TTRPG homework done.
Arranged a homebrew for one of the members of our discord, a #philipkdick system based on #ubik.
Found some more players for our last #osr season game, Cairn.
Drawn the lottery for our mini season of Heist games ... Alien, Everway, PSI*Run, Those Dark Places, Fiasco and Kult: Divinity Lost... and breathe.
