Manden i den store fæstning
Manden i den store fæstning (eng. The Man in the High Castle) er en kontrafaktisk science-fictionhistorie fra 1962 af Philip K. Dick.
Bogen handler om en alternativ fremtid, hvor Nazi-Tyskland og Japan er gået sejrende ud af anden verdenskrig og holder verden i et jerngreb. Vest for Mississippi-floden hersker japanerne og har sat præg på den amerikanske kultur. Øst for den store flod styrer tyskerne.
I bogens besatte Amerika forekommer blandt meget andet en forbudt roman, Græshoppen hviler tungt, som kontrafaktiskt skildrer, hvordan det ville været gået, hvis Amerika ikke havde tabt krigen.
Fra 2015-19 kørte tv-serien The Man in the High Castle baseret på bogen.

"The Man in the High Castle" is an alternate history novel by Philip K. Dick. It is set in a world in which the Axis powers have won World War II. This map is inspired by Dick's story and shows a plausible division of the world between Nazi Germany (dark brown), Imperial Japan (dark red) and their respective allies. However, the map is much more precise than the book describes.
