What is the author's style in Ubik by Philip K. Dick?

Ubik is set in the future, and as such, Philip K. Dick introduces many words the reader will not initially understand, such as cold pacs and pap machines. Dick does not waste any time defining these words, but the reader can quickly work out their meaning by how they relate to the plot. In fact, Dick wastes very few words. He keeps description down to the minimum and constantly drives the plot forward with short sentences and heavy use of dialogue.
