Winner of the Hugo Award
"The single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dick's career." --New York Times
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 twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied 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 wake.

Great
Loved it. Great narration. Fascinating plot. The character’s different voices were beautifully done. One of the main titles in the alternative history genre.

9 Hours Of My Life I will Never Get Back!
I am so glad that the writers of the TV show actually put a story to the concept underpinning this book, because there was no coherent story running through this book that I could see. It just jumped between what appears to be 9 hours of character set ups and then it ended. I’m still not sure what the point to it was, or what actually happened. Terrible and boring. Very well performed though. That’s about the only positive really!
