Description: Ubik is a 1969 science-fiction novel by Philip K. Dick, set in a world where reality constantly destabilizes and time slips backward after a catastrophic event. The characters rely on a mysterious spray-can product called Ubik, which may be the only thing keeping them alive—or anchored in reality. The story blends paranoia, metaphysics, and dark humor, making it one of Dick’s most iconic mind-bending works.
Description: As of 2078, the New Economic Block (NEB) was locked in a bitter civil war with the Alliance, a group of former mining and science personnel over the mining rights to planet Sirius 6B. Grab this official NEB mining crew shirt and look the part as you regale with tales of mining and battles in a far off star system.
