The Man in the High Castle review (Whatifalthist, 2017-06-23) assesses Philip K. Dick's early-1960s alternate history: FDR killed, Axis victory, and a 1962 map dividing the U.S. (Japanese West, German East, Rocky buffer). The reviewer lauds the novel's compact ~200-page worldbuilding and I Ching–driven plotting but faults implausible geopolitical/technological leaps and a rushed, unsatisfying ending.
