While talking in class I realized I should have read babel 17. Being in a lifestyle much like what you are referring to in Babel I think I would understand the story more than I did Ubik. Ubik is great because its based off beer. The story line is confusing. It seems like the majority of the story focused on this afterlife feeling. What we can do beyond the line of death and how the alive handle this. It shows how we as humans want to hold on too tight to what is gone and can never return, if even for another moment. This appeals to me because I myself am a pack-rat. I am certain if given the choice with death I would choose to hold on as long as possible.
