Watch the trailer for the compelling and provocative new series, The Man in the High Castle, based on the novel from acclaimed author Phillip K Dick. The newest Amazon Original series takes a glimpse into an alternate history and what life may have been like had the Allied Powers lost WWII.
Dick wrote this more than 50 years ago now.
I read a lot of Dick in the early 80’s in my late teens and early 20’s.
He was not all that well known or widely respected.
It is amazing how an ostensible hack writer sci-fi writer has such a lasting and continuously expanding influence.
Slightly OT, but related. I read a year old story in the WSJ last week that A&E killed Longmire because the average viewer age was 60, not the demographic that advertisers want to hit. I was thrilled to see that Season 4 showed up on Netflix this week. I didn’t know that Netflix had picked the show up from A&E. It’s a great show if you haven’t seen it.
I love the idea of Amazon, Netflix, and now maybe Apple creating their own content.
Philip K Dick wrote so much great stuff that has resulted in LOTS of great adaptations. Respect.
