One of Dick's most celebrated works, The Man in the High Castle is a complex and audacious dystopia set in a New York controlled by the Nazis that plays inspired tricks with reality.
In this nightmare dystopia the Nazis have taken over New York, the Japanese control California and the African continent is virtually wiped out.
In a neutral buffer zone in America that divides the world's new rival superpowers, lives the author of an underground bestseller. His book offers a new vision of reality - an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis powers were defeated - giving hope to the disenchanted.
Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others?
Philip Kindred Dick (1928-82) was born in Chicago in 1928. His career as a science fiction writer comprised an early burst of short stories followed by a stream of novels, typically character studies incorporating androids, drugs, and hallucinations.
His best works are generally agreed to be The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner.
