Listen "Philip Dick, Ubik - Prudence Organizations And The Society - Sadler's Lectures"
Episode Synopsis
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik
It focuses specifically on the role that "prudence organizations", that is companies that employ anti-psionic talents or "inertials" to block or combat psionic talents, play in the world of the novel. These prudence organizations also belong to a "society" which engages in action on their behalf against companies that employ psionic talents like telepaths and precogs. We get a glimpse of the kinds of advertisement appeals made by prudence organizations early on in the novel as well.
