brief_description
Ubïq: A Mental Odyssey (the title amalgamates Philip K. Dick's Ubik and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey) is presented as a "science fiction photo-roman book tour," with Mathieu Briand as our tour guide. For the journey he has enlisted the writer, Daniel Foucard, who shares Briand's own unusual synthesis of seemingly disparate genres with characters more or less junkies, more or less monomaniacs, more or less lost type and who has mixed Briand's narrative with his own work.
