WIJFR: The Man in the High Castle

closeHey, just so you know ... this post is now about 10 years old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

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.

I know I said “American Gods” would be my last WIJFR post, but I just finished reading “The Man in the High Castle” by Philip K. Dick. I originally read this alternate history story by PKD many many years ago, but was inspired to re-read it after watching the pilot episode of the new Ridley Scott-produced original series on Amazon Prime Video. It’s been greenlit for a full series and now that I’ve re-read the original source material I’m looking forward to watching it.
