>The man in the high castle
Tbh that is one of his worse "mainstream" novels. I swear the universe doesnt make any fucking sense and people just by it for the "nazi domaniation boogeyman" charade. The series is even more laughable. The book just stands up on its attention grabbing theme and nothing else.
