The Man in the High Castle

The Man in the High Castle was a fascinating but difficult read. I love how Dick plays around with the notion of multiple realities and false realities, but a deeper understanding of I Ching would have made this an easier read. Dick manages to still make this quite readable without hitting us over the head with I Ching allusions however. There is intrigue, alternative history within alternative history, glimpses of our world, commentary on racial divisions, and even an ambiguous conclusion. What's not to love!
