About this listen
Now an Amazon Original series
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.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 99
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Dante's Divine Comedy is considered to be not only the most important epic poem in Italian literature, but also one of the greatest poems ever written. It consists of 100 cantos, and (after an introductory canto) they are divided into three sections. Each section is 33 cantos in length, and they describe how Dante and a guide travel through Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 32
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Amazing book, amazing voice acting and accents.
I don’t understand the ending though, is it a fourth wall break or something? Makes no sense to me.

Not Dick's best
Fantastic narration, but I found the narrative thread easy to lose. Too many subplots I didn't care about at all, and a lot of dialogue was simply bad.
Maybe I just didn't get it, but overall, not Dick's strongest work.

A great read… but many plots left unresolved…
This novel was a great read… I know it’s going to seem strange given my comments moving forward… I throughly enjoyed reading MITHC but I have to admit there were numerous plots that were left unresolved. The obvious language… discriminatory at points was triggering. I guess this was the point to shock and put (us) the reader into this world. But I was hoping the final 2 chapters would clean up the obvious plots of central characters but it didn’t. I feel like the author could’ve written possibly 2 more chapters to end with 17 to clean up everything. Yes, as a reader the plot openness and unresolved leave (us) the reader with our imagination running wild. Not to mention, there is the MITHC series still airing on Prime video. With that being said, I still enjoyed this novel and I give it 5 stars.

A Philosophical Foray into an Under-utilized World
Much like other offerings from Philip K. Dick, ‘Man in the High Castle’ is heavy on poetic philosophy set in a fascinating world. Unfortunately, Dick once again sacrifices story by under-utilizing the rich characters and settings to serve existential philosophical discussion.
If you like history, alternate-history fiction, sci-fi, or philosophy, you’ll enjoy this book. But be warned, it doesn’t score high on emotion or thrills. If you like Star Wars, this is not your cup of tea. If you like Star Trek, welcome.

Great book but some character voices are iffy
The story is awesome, quite different from the Amazon series so well worth considering. The book is well narrated except when it comes to Juliana's voice; it was hard to imagine the character when the narrator tried to sound like a woman. Otherwise, a great title.

Great idea but needs more detail.
The show has a lot more detail and connection between each story but without listening to the book I would not have put some connection together when watching the show. To get the whole picture you need to entertain both. I hated the ending of the book.
