I just finished watching the Amazin series The Man in the High Castle. I have not read the book, but if anyone has seen the show I have a question. Is the end of the tenth show the end of the book/story? I've not seen there being a second season do did the book end w the Trade Minister waking up you-know-where? (I'm trying to avoid spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it). How important a are the films? Was J.Blake a spy or a member of the resistance?
The story isn’t over.
In the book, Julia seemingly transitions to an alternate reality, while the Trade Minister sees it but stays where he is. And Frink starts making jewelry again.
We haven’t met the man in the high castle, which happens in the book, and Joe dying didn’t occur, which might be a plot change.
Over a half century ago, I received the book via the Science Fiction Book Club. At about the same time, I read a review of it in Analog (FKA Astounding) by P. Schuyler Miller saying something like, “Here, I suspect, is the Hugo Award winner for the best science fiction novel.”
I attempted to read it, was bored, and set it aside. I attempted the same thing 50 years later and the result was the same. The book remains on my bookstand awaiting another attempt.
I was, however, able to read The World the Jones Made, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich (twice!), and Ubik (that some consider his masterpiece).
I guess I’m doing something wrong. :)
Relax. It’s just the season ending. The show will continue in season two. The Grasshopper Lies Heavy.
I will then. Thx.
I’ll be impressed if you wait another fifty years.
I agree.
I read all sorts of Dick back in the day. Only this book did I find dull and don’t remember finishing it.
Re: is the site like imageshack?
No, not at all. You can store your own digital photos. You don’t access other photos.
Looks like there will be a second season:http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/the-man-in-the-high-castle-series-creator-talks-future-seasons-satisfying-closure-40586/
It looks like there will be a second season. See post #28.
There’s another man in a high castle than the one we saw? Okay, the mystery on that point continues then.
