This episode, Ryan Simón, editor of the fabulous magazine, American Vulgaria, joins me to talk about Philip K Dick's mind-bending science fiction masterpiece, Ubik.
Arty sleaze, "pick me straights," beauty and art and reading as the way out of Current Thingism, making a magazine an aesthetic object, bubbles of irreality, Gnosticism, Dick's constant destruction of his own narrative, what Ubik means, science fiction tropes, crazy sci fi fashions, and much more discussed on the longest episode with a single guest ever!
