Philip K. Dick, that is. Just finished a read-through of Ubik, one of his best-regarded works.
One of my goals for this year is to read quite a bit of classic science fiction, since I enjoy the genre but haven't delved super-deep into it. One of the authors I've generally missed so far is Philip K. Dick; Ubik is the first full novel of his I've read (though I've read several short stories).
Unsurprisingly a strange novel probably written under the influence of many, many drugs, but I quite liked it. It was genuinely funny at quite a few points (every device in the future being coin-operated makes me think of microtransaction hell) and kept me interested despite all the weirdness. I can only guess at the overall meaning of of the book but I suspect Ubik is supposed to be a metaphor for God, based on the final chapter's epigraph.
Anyway, I liked it a lot more than Vonnegut so I'll probably read some more books by him; maybe they'll help me interpret this one.

i liked ubik a lot, read it a few years ago. i remember thinking it probably should've been twice its length, because it had a lot of room to explore and ended somewhat abruptly.
i really enjoyed a scanner darkly, so much so i've picked up the library of america set of dick's stories and plan to start that after my current book.
