"What if Nazism and imperialism had won?

Recently, I watched the alternate-history dystopian television series *The Man in the High Castle* with great enthusiasm. Based on the 1962 novel by Philip K. Dick and produced by Ridley Scott, the TV drama explores the compelling themes of another possibility, another history and another world. It also presents the themes of xenophobia versus racial harmony, uniformity versus diversity and tyranny versus resistance, all of which have colored our history with blood.

(. . .)

*The Man in the High Castle* suggests that acknowledging the possibility of an alternate history, another world or a parallel universe is important because it gives us valuable lessons and hope. If we firmly believe that the present reality is the one and only absolute truth, we may become narrow-minded and short-sighted. On the contrary, if we accept the possibility of other realities and different worlds, it will open our eyes and broaden the horizons of our perception. Furthermore, our vision of another world will encourage and enable us to build a better world."

A Scanner Darkly: Trailer for the 2006 Linklater film of PK Dick's fascinating book. The movie is really special and worth a watch.

Novel

Why do I feel like I’m living in a Philip K. Dick novel?

Probably “Now Wait For Last Year.”

@coreysnipes Surveillance will eat itself... time to re-read/watch 'A Scanner, Darkly' #pkdick

@shplink Funny that, I just mentioned I felt a Truman Show moment Thursday. #PKDick wrote the script for this year in 1974

Právě dočteno.

Stará škola sci-fi od legendy v tomto žánru. Dvoudílná sbírka povídek od Philipa K. Dicka, Planeta, která neexistovala 1 a 2, obsahuje povídky z autorova ranného období, tedy z 50-tých let minulého století.
Většina povídek jsou tématicky pro tvorbu PKD běžné : definice lidskosti, člověk vs. technologie, cestování časem, život přeživších po atomové válce, lidstvo vs. mimozemšťané, paranoia, dystopické světy, telepatie atd.
Vzhledem k tomu, že všechny povídky jsou cca 70 let staré, tak některé jsou dnes už spíš jen úsměvné.
Každopádně se tu najde pár velmi povedených kousků.

The Man in the High Castle is not a dystopia, not really.

@CodroipoBehemoth : mi piacerebbe rivedere il telefilm adattamento di "la svastica sul sole", il finale non è proprio uguale al libro ma penso che Pippo Cazzo non ne sarebbe troppo dispiaciuto...

Me: COMECHISCUSA

OK, better than I was expecting.
But I'd probably spend 3x the time correcting it than I would reading it.

One key sub-plot to Philip K. Dick's The Man In The High Castle is the Nazi plan to completely dominate the world, Operation Dandelion. This poses a terrible moral dilemma about which evil to work with

@Freiheitsrechte @bverfg Anhand des Romans "Minority Report" von Philip K. Dick wurde bereits literarisch gezeigt dass diese Art der "Prävention" ihre Tücken hat.
