The Man in the High Castle

Quite the interesting concept. It's 1962 and Japan and Germany have stomped us in WWII. Germany continued its human experiments on the continent of Africa creating a virtual genecide. Slavery is legal in the US and Jews live in hiding under assumed names and false faces. I have mucho respect for Dick's writing. This is the man who penned stories that became Minority Report and the venerable BladeRunner. I find his delivery an acquired taste at best, however. He's a bit on the dry side.
