This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik It focuses specifically on one of the most central characters of the novel, Joe Chip, who we get introduced to in chapter 3 and who features in every chapter of the novel subsequent to that. We discuss in particular his role as a "tester" of psionic and anti-psionic talents and fields, his assuming leadership over the Runciter organization after the ambush that leaves Glen Runciter seemingly dead, his interactions with Patricia Conley, Glen Runciter, Jory Miller, and Ella Runciter, and Ella's plans for Joe to replace her as Glen Runciter's main advisor.
