👉 The Walter Fluid is a fictional substance introduced in the 1985 science fiction novel "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick, later adapted into the 2005 film "Source Code."

In the narrative, Walter, the protagonist, discovers that the Walter Fluid is a form of advanced nanotechnology or biological agent capable of altering human behavior, memory, and even physical form. This fluid is central to the story's exploration of free will versus determinism, as it manipulates individuals to serve alternate historical outcomes, particularly those envisioned in the alternate history of an Axis victory in World War II. The Walter Fluid embodies the theme of control and manipulation, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
