The Man in the High Castle (1962)

The Man in the High Castle (1962) is one of Philip K. Dick's most groundbreaking works, taking readers into an alternate reality where the Axis powers won World War II and split the U.S. between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Set in a dystopian 1960s America, the novel dives into the political and cultural clashes of this new world order while raising profound philosophical questions about reality, history, and human free will. It’s a bold exploration of what could have been and the fragility of the world we take for granted.
