Описание и характеристики
Philip K. Dick’s acclaimed cult novel gives us a horrifying glimpse of an alternative world - one where the Allies have lost the Second World War. 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.

The Man in the High Castle
Филип Дик меня всегда поражает своей изобретательностью, иногда даже не сразу получается разобраться в его работах, но главное в такие моменты не забрасывать книгу на дальнюю полку. С Человеком в высоком замке, отчасти, получилось также. Дик в этой книге рассказывает о значении времени и альтернативных реальностях, но при этом круто, что он не даёт прямых ответов, и после прочтения остаётся достаточно пищи для размышления.
Минусы
у книги минусов нет, но хотелось бы видеть больше книг Дика в оригинале

Новое будущее
Культовый роман от гениального в своей безудержной фантазии автора!
Плюсы
Один из самых культовых фантастических романов в жанре альтернативной истории, на языке автора еще лучше чувствуется разница между персонажами и их манерой разговора, если владеете английском, будет интересно к прочтению!
Минусы
Многих смущает открытый финал, но авторская задумка была именно такой и никак иначе он книгу не видел свою!
