The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick

Goodreads Blurb: 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.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: I think what struck me most about this book is how small and sad everyone’s lives seemed. Even the brief moments of joy in the characters’ lives are wrung out and stripped of all meaning under the steel boot of this terrible world they must live in. Though I suppose that’s the point – meaning dies while tyranny reigns.
