America Is Ruled By Japan And The Nazis In The New ‘Man In The High Castle’ Trailer
If the Nazis won WWII, it might look like this.
Published in 1962, Phillip K. Dick’s award-winning novel The Man in the High Castle is an alternate-history sci-fi story set in a world where the Allies lost World War II and the United States has been taken over by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. It’s also a good-ass book and you should go find it at the library if you’ve never read it.
Doing a Netflix and dipping their toes into the TV-making game, Amazon have an adaptation planned; the pilot dropped in January, and was so well-received it was greenlit for a full season. Now we finally get a proper look at the world of Axis-ruled America, which makes for some appropriately foreboding imagery.
Based on the trailer, The Man in the High Castle could be a Transparent-worthy feather in Amazon’s cap. A precise air date’s not yet been announced, but the pilot is widely available online so you should go watch that now, hey.
