The Man In The High Castle

It’s America in 1962, where slavery is legal once again and the few surviving Jews live under assumed identities. In this altered world, we meet Frank Frink, a dealer of counterfeit Americana hiding his Jewish heritage; Nobusuke Tagomi, the Japanese trade minister in San Francisco, uncertain of his standing within both the bureaucracy and Japan’s alliance with Germany; and Juliana Frink, Frank’s ex-wife, whose importance may exceed her own understanding. As these seemingly disparate characters slowly uncover their connections, they begin to sense that something is fundamentally wrong with their reality—clues that may lead to Hawthorne Abendsen, a mysterious, reclusive author whose best-selling novel imagines a world where the US won the war. The Man in the High Castle showcases Philip K. Dick at his best, offering readers a chilling and unforgettable vision of what might have been.
