"Someone", she said, "just now moved us, all of us, into another world. We inhabited it, lived in it, as citizens of it, and then a vast, all-encompassing spiritual agency restored us to this, our rightful universe."

"That would be Pat", Joe Chip said. "Pat Conley. Who just joined the firm today."

Having a hangover, he dialed off interplan news, hovered momentarily at domestic news, and then selected gossip.

"Yes sir", the 'pape machine said heartily. "Gossip. Guess what Stanton Mick, the reclusive, interplanetarily known speculator and financier, is up to at this very moment."

Mike Records indicate that I last read it the year before we met, '09, a year that also included (according to my records) Infinite Jest, The Brothers Karamazov, The Tempest, Blood Meridian, Steppenwolf, Beyond Good and Evil, Dubliners and Frankenstein, among others. Just looking at that list exhausts me now, at my advanced age, but I figured I would revisit at least a small piece of that year in the form of Ubik. It's one of PKD's crazier novels so far, which is saying something.
