In 1992, "precogs" and "anti-psychics" are corporate weapons. When Joe Chip’s team is caught in an explosion, their leader, Glen Runciter, is placed in "half-life" suspension. However, reality soon begins to fracture: modern items revert to 1930s models, and the team starts aging rapidly toward death.
Joe discovers that he and his colleagues are actually the ones in cold storage, their dying minds manipulated by a predatory psychic. Their only hope is Ubik, a commercial spray that halts physical decay. The story concludes with a reality-bending twist, questioning who is truly alive and who is dreaming.
