A shop foreman who worked with Frank Frink convinces him to manufacture contemporary American jewelry. Frank consults the I, Ching and agrees to the venture, but can't help but make trouble for his boss, whose most profitable line is the replication of "authentic" Colt pistols which the Japanese can't get enough of. Frank visits American Artistic Handcrafts and accuses Childan of selling fakes. Childan cancels his business with Mr. Wyndham-Matson, who laments this to his secretary Rita. The boss man's woman pines for what could have been had the Allies won the war, a fantasy concocted in a banned novel everyone's reading titled The Grasshopper Lies Heavy. As for the other two arcs, I did like them. But parts of it were predictable and too philosophical for my taste. Nevertheless, both arcs concluded quite strongly, if not bizarrely.Jarvey, Natalie (August 3, 2015). " The Man in the High Castle Creator Frank Spotnitz on Creating Alternate Histories".

Moylan, Brian (November 18, 2015). "Does The Man in the High Castle prove that the best TV is now streamed?". The Guardian . Retrieved December 10, 2015.It's a postmodern world described here. Judaism is no more. Christianity is no more --- the book almost casually mentions how the Nazis, after the War, wiped out the "Bible-believers". In short, Judaeo-Christian morality and attitudes are extinct --- in their place, the racial superiority belief system of the Nazis; and, outside the Third Reich, the belief in Taoism or Buddhism with a superstitious faith in divination to determine when and how to act. The novel is rich in themes and symbolism. The novel’s exploration of the nature of reality and perception is perhaps its most central theme, as it challenges readers to consider the power of narrative and the role of individual agency in shaping reality. The novel’s themes of cultural identity, the impact of war on the human psyche, and the dangers of propaganda also make it an important 20th-century novel. We really do see astigmatically, in fundamental sense: our space and time creations of our own psyche and when these momentarily falter - like acute disturbance of middle ear.
