The other day, there was a thread where people were talking about works of art composed under extreme formal constraints - Perec's La Disparition, Böök's Eunoia and things like that. It's just a little odd that Man in the High Castle never gets mentioned in this context. But, when you come down to it, using the I Ching to make every decision in writing a book is an extremely strong formal constraint.

In 1962, fifteen years after Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany won World War II, in the Pacific States of America, the businessman Robert Childan owns an antiques shop that specializes in Americana for a Japanese clientele who fetishize cultural artifacts of the former USA. And the most frightening of all is that now there is a “Cold War” between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Where the Nazis have now Nuclear Technology and Hidrogen Bombs at their disposal. Arnold Chun as Kotomichi, Tagomi's aide-de-camp, who came from the parallel world after his hometown, Nagasaki, was destroyed by an American atomic bomb.

The novel imagines that Roosevelt survives assassination and pulls America out of the Great Depression. FDR's popularity keeps an isolationist, pro-Nazi regime from the White House.

Adolf Hitler is put on trial for war crimes. In Wyndham-Matson's analysis of this fiction, the Communists and Jews take over the world, but Rita is beguiled by the book. So is Juliana Frink, who's heard that its author is an ex-serviceman who lives in Cheyenne in a mountain compound he calls the High Castle. Bryant, Jacob (February 24, 2016).

Frank reflects on recent events and makes an important decision about his future, and Tagomi gains greater insight into Juliana's past. Smith, having caught Joe in his home office, interrogates him further about Juliana and Canon City and threatens him with execution if he does not recover a newly-discovered film from the Man in the High Castle.Janet Kidder as Lila Jacobs (season 3), one of the many Jews protected in a Catholic commune in the Neutral Zone.
