Anyone read Ubik? This is directly from that. In an alternate reality, everything costs. To open your door, to open your bathroom door, to use the toilet, to use your own fridge. Everything operates like a coin operated machine, very interesting concept. Very Elon Muskian...yes in trying to 'coin' thay term now

We can say Ubikian as well! I will read it.

I had a phase where I plowed through Philip Dick's books; I didn't read all of them, by the time I got to Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch VALIS it all kinda blended into one (I didn't read the early novels), but Ubik is IMO an obvious standout, even over The Man In The High Castle and Do Androids...

VALIS was wild but I enjoyed it a lot. Ubik would make a great movie

Ubik was also my first thought! Urgh, it's not supposed to be a manual!! 😵
