The Man in the High Castle

[read 6.3.23]
for leisure

Not sure yet what I think about it....

Can definitely sense the thematic elements/ philosophical discussions but can't quite tease out yet what Dick is saying about them

There's something about
- superstition/religion with the whole I Ching thing; probably reflects/comments on something in Dick's/our current society
- materialism or art/commodity/antique 

Went on SparkNotes for some analysis lol and saw about the whole idea of multiple characters having plans that lead them to failure/danger, BUT that also end up bringing them to success. 
Also Tagomi is a goat 

Actually a somewhat touching work 

★★★ 

3 stars but could be convinced otherwise
