 “I am UBIK. Before the Universe was, I am. I made the suns. I made the worlds. I created the living creatures and the places they inhabit; and I move them here as I wish. They go where I tell them and do what I say. I am the Word. My name is never spoken, the name which no one knows. I am called UBIK, but that is not my name. I am. I shall always be.”
