 Eric Brown - Short Stories - The Man In The High Castle
For much of his writing life Philip K. Dick was considered by a coterie of devoted readers, writers and critics as an unrecognised genius, a visionary whose manic novels of fractured realities presented a future that, like all good science fiction, was less prescriptive of what was to come than descriptive of the present.
Philip Kindred Dick, born in Chicago in 1928, was a maverick, a self-taught anti-establishment intellectual with an appetite for knowledge and an intimidating ability to absorb information.
The Man in the High Castle, in its depiction of little people living small lives with honour and confusion - and in its examination of the conflicting ideas of totalitarianism and Eastern philosophy - is perhaps Dick's finest book, and one of the very best science fiction novels ever published.

 The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick - an infinity plus review
Living in the castle of the book's title in the Rockies, Abendsen has consulted the ancient Chinese book of Changes, the I Ching, and used his readings of it to write a sort of Science Fiction potboiler, an alternate-reality tale in which America and the Allies win the Second World War.
Readings of The Man in the High Castle have tended to concentrate on the relativist philosophy of History the novel embodies, for what are doubtless obvious reasons.
Because we live in a world in which real Nazis made lampshades and the like out of real people, this grisly recitative never strays into the phantasmagoric; its fl humour remains a commentary upon the actual world as well as upon Dick's imagined alternate universe.
