Una storia "allucinante". Decisamente un grande scrittore. In una storia completamente stravolta Dick riesce a fsr immaginare il lettore le descrizioni in modo reale. E se fosse davvero successo? Come può la mente umana arrivare a tanto? Ad immaginare un mondo contrario al nostro? Autore di grande pregio senza dubbio. (  ) TheGirin | Sep 19, 2018 |  DNF at 32% on 6/25/2016. (  ) thepageparamour | Sep 9, 2018 | I finished the book yesterday and am still processing it. That I'm still thinking about a book a day later is usually a good sign. I read the Folio Society edition which invariably enhances the experience. And it included an introduction by Ursula K. Le Guin that really helped in understanding both plot and style. Highly recommend. ( ) heggiep | Sep 8, 2018 | Ok, so Philip K Dick is just too esoteric for me. Every book I've read has about 40% that I really like, that are clever, well-thought, and interesting. While the other parts are weird, sometimes they feel kafkaesque, or trippy, and I don't get them (or at least, their relevance and what they do in the book). As always I liked the premise (also, I'm a sucker for Nazis-have-won books), but the more it progressed the more I felt like I should take some drugs to properly understand the book. Not to say that it's a bad book, but it's just not for me. (  ) _rixx_ | Aug 30, 2018 | Got it from the wait list at the library and found it impossibly boring. I hated the premise and just could not get interested at all. It is most likely just not my genre and might be a good read for someone who is into Sci-Fi. I quit at about four chapters.

Dick is entertaining us about reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation.... We have our own homegrown Borges. Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable. Philip K. Dick... has chosen to handle... material too nutty to accept, too admonitory to forget, too haunting to abandon.

In San Francisco the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some 20 years earlier the United States lost a war--and is now occupied jointly 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 awake. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:53 -0400) "It's America in 1962.
