Description: It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some 20 years earlier the United States lost a war--and is now occupied jointly by Nazi Germany and Japan. This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to awake. --GPP. This book is tight, clean and unmarked. This collectible is priced clipped and has minor rubbing at corners of DJand a closed tear at top edge of front panel. The DJ overall has maintained it's vibrant color.

Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine copy of the book in a solid Near Fine dust jacket with only slight wear at the spine ends and extremities, and a touch of rubbing at the front flap fold. An alternative history that remains chilling and relevant today, The Man in the High Castle imagines a world wherein the Axis Powers defeated the Allies in World War II. Unfolding fifteen years after the war's end, the novel reveals that no peace can exist when the victors of a conflict remain power-hungry and precarious. By 1962, governing their respective portions of the partitioned United States, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany clash over the futures they imagine for the human race. While the Reich continues its pursuit of "racial purity" through the exterminations of ethnic minorities, disabled and queer peoples, Imperial Japan enacts policies of "judicial racism" focused mainly on the oppression of Black, Chinese, and Anglo Americans as a subservient working class. Inspired by the transmission of the banned novel The Grasshopper Lies Heavy -- a novel within the novel which imagines the result of an Allied victory -- politicians, rebels, and revolutionaries move beyond intrigue and into direct conflict. The implications of Dick's novel remain relevant today, and its adaptation into the streaming series The Man in the High Castle has kept Dick's thought experiment in public view. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
