Readings 5- Ubik by Philip K Dick

by Risa Dickens

Ah, for this podcast James (the sound guy) and I got all gleefull playful with the sound effects. Future fiction being what it is, we played with nerdy noises.

In this section of Ubik you’ll hear the hero with a hangover arguing with the robot voices who run his apartment. He tries to get them to tidy up the place a bit and make coffee before letting a colleague and mysterious woman into his house. The woman, it turns out, has a power more incredible then the others on the team of anti-psychics our hero leads… she moves in and changes time’s path and so all possibilities fall messily open before them.

Anyway, it was a fun one for us, and I hope you enjoy it!
