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.

Well read audiobook
Classic Philip K. Dick. Builds slowly but becomes engrossing. Mysterious ending. Story is read well.

great book, poor reading
Great book! The reading left a bit to be desired - recommend reading this rather than listening to this version

Disappointed
I've looked forward to this story for years, the story itself was well below the expectations that I'd had built up for me, and the writing was strange.
interesting subject, but not executed well

Hmmmm...
Somewhat disappointed. The story seemed incomplete. I feel like the characters were we’re not explored properly and the storylines lacked connection. I kept on listening in hopes of an event which brought everything together, however this wasn’t the case.

I really challenging book to Listen too.
I rare case of the TV series being far better than the book. A plodding plot with little direction wrapped around an intriguing idea.

Great
Loved it. Great narration. Fascinating plot. The character's different voices were beautifully done. One of the main titles in the alternative history genre.

I didn't get the point of the story at all
Narration was excellent. Story used heavy useless expressions especially to describe the Japanese character's thoughts. Novel doesn't bother to close any of the storyline. I simply failed to understand the point of this book and regret the purchase although I am glad it was an audible version

Great idea for a book
One of my favourite authors. In this he managed to squeeze several stories into one narrative. The Author had a really acute imagination and it was enjoyably narrated, although I have read criticism elsewhere. I imagined a dark heavily asiatic ambience similar to Blade Runner and was a tad disappointed when it ended.
