ldquo;An accident has occurred. Joe Chip and his colleaguesmdash;all but one of themmdash;have narrowly escaped an explosion at a moon base. Or is it the other way round? Did Joe and the others die; and did the one fatality; Glen Runciter; actually survive? . . . From the stuff of space opera; Dick spins a deeply unsettling existential horror story; a nightmare yoursquo;ll never be sure yoursquo;ve woken up from.rdquo;mdash;Lev Grossman; TimeIn 1974; Philip K. Dick was commissioned to write a screenplay based on his novel Ubik. The film was eventually scrapped; but the screenplay was saved and later published in 1985. Featuring scenes that are not in the book and a surreal playfulnessmdash;the style of the writing goes back in time just like the technology in the bookrsquo;s dreamworldmdash;this screenplay is the only one Dick wrote and features his signature mix of paranoia; humor; and big-idea philosophy.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Full of advice on achieving sparkling effectsBy N C LONIEGenerously detailed with "how to" information. Recommended to me by a friend with 30 years experience of teaching art. who thought it one of the best water colour books she had encountered. If you like working on flowers at large scale this book will particularly please you - most of the illustrations are of botanical subjects - though some aspects of the authors method are perhaps a little less useful for actual size botanical art because of the finely detailed preparatory work she favours. But this is a very minor complaint and you can adapt the methods to suit the subject and scale youre working at. The book is full of outstandingly useful advice. information and detailed demonstration of methods.43 of 44 people found the following review helpful. best book on watercolor that I have readBy T. BurkesI read this book cover to cover and now use it as a reference book. Kincaid not only describes her method of watercolor in clear detail and with many illustrations. but she covers the basics of painting and composition in any medium. She is a very good teacher. reiterating principles throughout the book but in different examples and contexts. Just when I had a question while reading one chapter. she would address it in the very next chapter. In one of the best chapters in the book. she describes and provides photos of her tools and workspace setup. Another really excellent chapter explains glazing and how it works to provide maximum color transparency.Fair warning: Kincaids method is very precise. drawing with a lot of detail and using masking fluid and paper. And she depends on analog photographic slides for reference. instead of digital photos. If you are not into a lot of drawing or want to use digital photos or work from life only. you will need to pick and choose from her method and adapt it to your own. But thats always the case when learning from others.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
