About this deal

The man in the high castle is the prime example of why Dick can´t be named with the other behemoths of Sci-Fi, because they didn´t produce such messes, built meta-universes and timeless tropes instead and they loved their work and filed it to perfection and would have never dared to publish something like that. As their narratives intersect, Dick poses larger metaphysical questions concerning the authentication of history, perception and the building blocks of destiny.

Frink has recently left his work of employment, where he made replica guns from America’s past (for those Japanese collectors), to start his own business designing and creating original jewelry. I'm appalled to read in today's Guardian that Donald Trump has been using openly authoritarian and dehumanizing language reminiscent of tropes taken from early 1930s Nazi speeches!The story also explores racism as well as common PKD themes of confused realities and subjective perceptions. paper very lightly tanned, very light trace of blue ink across top edge about a quarter inch long; DJ is VG and is covered by mylar and has a bit of very light tanning at very top edge, a bit of light rubbing/wear to edges with some wrinkling along top quarter inch and bottom quarter inch;three closed tears along top at creases of one inch,one inch, and a quarter inch.

In sum, "The Man in the High Castle" stands as a pivotal cultural touchstone that continues to shape discussions on history, fiction, and the human condition. Featuring a fascinating introduction by Val McDermid and new illustrations by Juan Esteban Rodríguez, each copy has been signed by both the introducer and the illustrator.It is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate — confusion between him who worships and that which is worshiped. Dick of Point Reyes Station won the Hugo, the 21st World Science Fiction Convention Annual Achievement Award for the best novel of 1962. The stuff about the Japanese and Nazis is not the deepest point of the novel, and if you were to go into the book with that expectation, the whole I Ching angle will be really odd. So if we as Americans aren't rebels, if we're not democrats, if we're not plucky heroes with wild ideas so crazy they might actually work, who are we? Frink blackmails the Wyndam-Matson Corporation for money to finance his jewelry business, threatening to expose their supplying counterfeit antiques to Childan.
