Ubik: The Deconstruction of Bourgeois SF
Philip K. Dick's Ubik (1969) is, for this reader, one of the most
important SF works of the 1960s, for it is both deconstruction and a hint at
reconstruction: it lays bare the principal ways that SF is used for ideological
ends, in terms of science and of fiction, while tentatively looking towards a
future freed from the restraints it has exposed. In this novel Dick has exploded
and transcended the SF genre and the "representational novel" of which
it is a part.
