The Man in the High Castle was really good. I had seen the first season of the tv show and didn't like it much, I really have liked every Phillip K Dick novel I've read and I've read like 4. The book has a really interesting look at what it would be like in the US if we had lost our place in the world at the individual level. Most of the novel focuses around how the racial hierarchies would have functioned and how American whites would have dealt with their loss of status. I think it very much anticipates the politics of today--reflecting how our society will come to deal with a US in decline, even if only due to the status being gained by China.
