My recent essay on Philip K. Dick’s 1962 novel, comparing it with Amazon’s 2015 The Man in the High Castle‘s 10 episodes. Summary: Amazon’s adaptation of Dick’s novel is a brilliant transformation of it just right for America’s flirtation with fascism in 2015 (Trump, Cruz, et al).
The novel was unusual for Dick but unleashed a decade of great writing by him: it’s an experiment in counter-factual history, imagining what might have happened in the U.S. if Japan and Germany had got the A-Bomb first and won World War II.
