In the America of the year 1962, Jews remain in hiding—their real identities masked under fake names—and enslaving the black population is made legal yet again.
It has been more than two decades since the United States lost World War II, and now the entire America is divided and occupied by the Nazis and the Japanese.
Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963. It is among the notable works which innovated the very definition of science fiction. The Man in the High Castle presents a harrowing description of another world—a world where the United States and the mighty power it once boasted are no longer.

Philip K. Dick was born in 1928 in Chicago, and later on, he moved to California where he would live the greater part of his life.

Dick had written forty-four novels and about one hundred and twenty-one short stories. Most of these short stories have been included in magazines for science fiction throughout his lifetime. He may have spent most of his time writing in some degree of destitution, but ten of his works have been turned into sensational films after he died. These films include Blade Runner, The Adjustment Bureau, Minority Report, Total Recall, Screamers, Next, A Scanner Darkly, and Paycheck.
In 2005, his novel Ubik was named by Time Magazine as one of the hundred greatest English novels in print since 1923. In 2007, Philip K. Dick became the first ever science fiction writer to be featured in The Library of America Series.
BOOK OVERVIEW (INTRODUCTION)
Philip K. Dick rewrites history by introducing a world that could have been. The Man in the High Castle is a novel set in 1962, decades following the alternative conclusion of the Second World War. What was once the United States is now a land split in two: Nazi America governed by the Greater Nazi Reich and the Pacific States where the Japanese Empire reigns supreme.
Philip K. Dick masterfully writes in detail the intrigues between these two powers as tensions rise in the effort to avert what could be another war.
