Once you have read this book, I highly recommend you seek out an interview with the author "Vertex Interview with Philip K. Dick" which will give you further insights into the nature of this books relationship to the I Ching. Also, look up "Atlantropa" on Wikipedia, it's in relation to a minor and what seemed to be a somewhat fantastical note in the book, but was actually something genuinely planned by the Nazis.
Moderate: Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, Antisemitism, Classism, Panic attacks/disorders, and Colonisation

The Man in the High Castle is more about how the realities of others come to influence and convince the individual of their own. That may be through history, government, media, social interactions, or even horoscopes. The scenes that explore this are doubtlessly where the novel has the most to say. This one is worth your time.
