I just finished listening to Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle on Libro.fm. I first became familiar with this title through Amazon’s streaming adaptation. Having previously seen Dick’s work adapted for the screen with Blade Runner (adapted from Dick’s novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), I knew there was a strong possibility the novel might differ from the show. While I never finished the series on Amazon, based on the first season I would assert that my guess is correct. Dick’s novel is less action packed and suspenseful than the show, preferring a more esoteric and philosophical bent.
