September Book Club: The Man In The High Castle by Philip K Dick

Details

For September's book club, we will be discussing The Man In The High Castle by Philip K Dick. It is a popular work of historical fiction set in an alternate version of the United States. The book was also adapted into a TV series on Amazon Prime, which lasted for 4 seasons.

As we discussed recently, Meetup is charging the fee for running the group again. If you haven't contributed in a while, or feel like you could or want to contribute more, I appreciate any help and whatever you are comfortable with doing! Thank you so much for your help and for continuing to show and up and support the group. I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting. You're welcome to bring cash in person or send to my Venmo whenever! It's Tobias-Roth-2

We also discussed returning to Zilicoah for our next meetup since it's open again. So, weather permitting, we will plan to hang out by the river and enjoy some good local beers again :)

The description for the book reads:

It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war — and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to wake.
