The Man in the High Castle

Hugo Award for Best Novel. Two Finnish awards for science fiction. Polish SFinx award. Nominated for the "Great Ring" award. A cult and relevant today novel by Philip K. Dick, a remix of dystopia and alternate history. The German Reich... and the Japanese Empire won World War II and divided America. The 60s have arrived, an era of stability and prosperity. A conflict is brewing between the powers that could lead to nuclear war. Against this backdrop, the fates intertwine of a Japanese bureaucrat and a Wehrmacht agent, a dealer in folk art and a Jewish jeweler, his freedom-loving wife, and a Nazi killer. At the center of the pattern is the mystical oracle "Book of Changes" and the book "And the Locusts Will Eat Itself", banned by the Reich authorities, written by the Man in the High Castle. Which of them will answer the question: can absolute evil do good? The book won the Hugo Award and was adapted by Amazon and the Dick family. "The most resonant and carefully thought-out book by Dick." — New York Times "The Californian William Blake. Visionary and prophet." — Daily Telegraph "Our local Borges." — Ursula K. Le Guin
