What does Brown (2001) identify as the central themes and concerns of the novel? What elements conform to the wider generic features of
SF?
"Dick suggests that the world presented in 'The Man in the High Castle' is but an illusion, that other, better worlds might exist"
Brown explains that in all Dick's work there is the ending where you are left to wonder the ending for the characters, and in The Man in the High Castle, this is no exception. Brwon states that this book may be Phillip K. Dick's best work. He also states that this book is about "little people living small lives with honor and confusion."
It gives themes of other-words and a 'reality comapred to our own'. Phiilip K. Dick uses ideas such as 'totalitarianism and Eastern Philosophy'. Though two major pages are missing from the reader, you can tell that Brown highly reconized this book, he found it to be the best of Phiilip K. Dick. The use of a different reality babbles people, this could be something of concern for the novel, the confusion it could create.
