Un' utopia se mi arrischiassi una recensione. Ma l'ho finito! (  ) Ste1955 | Apr 24, 2019 |  Interesting - reading this and seeing the pilot for the Amazon produced series. They've made changes (the book is now mysterious newsreel footage), but the story - a world where Nazi's won WWII is the same. A very dark story. (  ) mrklingon | Apr 22, 2019 | Meh. (  ) kemilyh1988 | Apr 12, 2019 | One of the foundational alt-history novels, this one posits that the Axis won World War II. Or does it? The ending is enticingly ambiguous, since the status of the novel-within-a-novel seems to be tied deeply to the I Ching, which Dick himself apparently consulted regularly (as do many of the characters in the book). The setting is richly set, and the characters refreshlingly non-cardboard. I enjoyed the book. ( ) EricCostello | Mar 24, 2019 | This book isn't for me. Don't see what the fuss is about. It might be because it was written during the Cold war. Plot Germany and Japan win World War II and split America in two. There is a lady called Julliane she wants to meet an author of a banned book called The Grasshopper lies Heavy this tells the story of the Allies winning the war. (  ) Daftboy1 | Feb 18, 2019 |
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. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco the I Ching is as coommon as the Yellow Pages.
