do not know what the next steps crazy leaders gray citizens so every day is accompanied by uncertainty. Virtually all when making life decisions benefit from the ancient book - I-Ching oracle. As a trusted group of people talk also about another book, the immensely popular, but banned. It is a shocking way to present major figures of the Third Reich and the events of the past decades. This book is a novel about a strange biblical Title: Locusts utyje . Its author, Hawthorne Abendsen, as rumor has it, for fear of assassination by the Nazis planned to live his life in a real fortress. It is this fortress is the title High Castle.

Prohibited locusts read by all - Japanese couple, Betty and Paul, fascinated by everything American, driven by a mania of inferiority, obsequious a junk shop owner, Robert Childan and Juliana Frink, a judo instructor in a sports club in Colorado. This is what she finds Abendsena to find out why he described this strange world where everything is different, and yet it seems more realistic. And she discovers what it really is Locusts utyje - not literary fiction, in which defeated Erwin Rommel in Africa, there is a defense of Stalingrad, and Hitler killed in April 1945 - but a record of real events. It turns out that it is not Abendsena imagination influenced the content of the book, but precise information obtained through the infallible oracle of I-Ching.

Man of the High Castle is a fun dystopia, where the author plays with the attempt to answer the question: "what if?". But perhaps more important is that, as in his other books, and here Dick, by a kind of game conducted not only with readers, but - somewhat - with the same characters of the novel, can arouse anxiety. After completion of required reading is the moment to remind yourself what is fiction and what is reality, and eventually breathe. A strong conviction that we know what is real and what is not - calms. The deterioration of the reader's belief in the existence of a specific and reliable here and now represents a real challenge. But Dick - as Dick - think this unusual test with flying colors.
