The Man in the High Castle

Imagine the world if the Allies had lost the Second World War...Philip K Dick trips the switches of our minds with his vision of the world as it might have been: the African continent virtually wiped out, the Mediterranean drained to make farmland, the United States divided between the Japanese and the Nazis...In the neutral zone that divides the rival superpowers in America lives the author of an underground best-seller. His book - a rallying cry for all those who dream of overthrowing the occupiers - offers an alternative theory of world history. Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others?

A Scary Alternative World From One Of The World's Most Inspiring Authors

Philip K. Dick is clever. Not in the way that a Stella Artois advert is clever. Not like that handle that pulls out of your suitcase is clever. He is clever like a guy with a big brain. He imagines a world where the Allies lost the last World War, and the United States has been divided between the Nazis and the Japanese with an emaciated neutral zone stretched across the Rockies. There are spooky similarities with world politics of the early sixties, and horrifying glimpses of what might have happened to Africa in an Axis world. But the touch of the Man in the High Castle itself is what gives this book its queasy genius.
