Velshi Banned Book Club: 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick - Velshi - MS NOW

“The Man in the High Castle” explores the sort of “what if” question that plagues the imagination of anyone who has ever thought critically about our history books, our involvement in war, our past, and what it all might mean for our present. “It allows you to think ‘what if I'm reading the present wrong? What if we did lose to fascism?’” notes author Jonathan Lethem. “I don’t think it has ever failed to be relevant.” - Aired on 03/07/2026.

Some readers have speculated that Philip K Dick channeled an alternate reality, or perhaps our own future. The more I read of Philip K Dick the less sure I am that they are incorrect.
An interesting interview with the author:
