tim_j_001 's review for:
The Man in the High Castle
by Philip K. Dick
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Philip K. Dick is the Van Gogh of the Sci-Fi world. Super talented, really prolific, and deeply damaged. I have read other alternative histories, but this is the one that has stuck with me. Maybe it's just the idea, what would the world have become if the Axis had won the war? Maybe it's that side by side comparison, the battle between the technological and the spiritual. Maybe its attraction is rooted in its invitation to explore the interconnectedness of all things and the concept of balance. Or historicity. Or smallness. Or wu.
I could go on.
I love the idea too that there's sort of a meta-reality or a duality of timelines that a couple of the characters are able to detect, if not fully comprehend, at the end of the book. The idea that was we see and perceive every day is an illusion.

Don't dwell too much on that though.
