Man in the High Castle was an interesting concept and interesting for the first seasons until it started getting into multiverse stuff. I tuned out once the Nazis had plans to take over a whole other parallel universe.
I was fascinated with the way a world would look like had they won, especially having never really thought about Japan’s role and sharing the United States as a territory. I like those sort of “what if” scenarios.
But they fumbled it once it got to that point. No idea if the book followed in that or not. I was just looking for the parallel “what if” world and to see the story take place there, kind of like experiencing the Wolfenstein games.
The way Phillip K Dick wrote that book was… pretty unique. He actually used a Chinese form of divination called I Ching. The book has a lot of seemingly abrupt and unforeshadowed plot developments because of that. Haven’t caught the show though so Im not sure how loyal it stays to the book.
