The Man in the High Castle won the Hugo Award in 1962.

Dick’s alternate-history novel imagines a United States divided between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan after an Axis victory in the Second World War. The book brought him the Hugo Award in 1962, marking a major recognition of his talent. Its power comes from more than the altered history. Characters encounter books, rumors, and competing versions of events, turning political history into a haunted question: who controls the story of the world?
