When people die they are put immediately into cold-pac, in a state of half-life. Their living relatives are able to still talk with them through a microphone. Eventually, though, the residual brain activity of half-life fails and the person is really dead. Glen Runciter runs a prudence organization, with the help of his dead wife who is in cold-pac. His employees are able to cancel out the powers of telepaths who might be invading people's privacy, and stealing corporate secrets. He takes eleven agents, and his tester Joe Chip, to the moon. There is a bomb blast and Runciter is killed. He is put into cold-pac but his brain can't be accessed. The survivors find that things around them begin to change. The phone book is outdated. The money is obsolete. The cream is sour, the coffee is moldy, and the tobacco is all crumbling and stale. Household appliances are reverting to earlier forms. Then the survivors begin dying, one by one, in a state of extreme age and dessication, as if they were ancient mummies. At the same time Runciter sends them messages. He speaks on the TV, he addresses them from restroom graffiti, from package labels. A product called Ubik can reverse the decay. But what is it, and where can they get some? And why are they in 1939 Des Moines? And what about Pat, the girl who had the ability to travel back in time and change events? Is she behind all this? I can't tell you.
