     Just read Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. An rich but odd
     story -

     nominally about an alternate history where the Axis powers conquered
     America,

     really a set of finely drawn character stories by a premier humanist
     author

     (with a great deal of harmless sillyness about "I, Ching"
     fortune-telling).

     I'm damned if I get the meaning of the story, though!

         Understanding *any* PKD story is often difficult, if not utterly
         impossible.

         If you find yourself _easily_ understanding Dick, you may be in
         trouble.

         There's a great scene in that book, where a Japanese administrator
         finds

         himself in _our_ timeline's rich and odd L.A.
