Shageletic posted:Wasn't the "thinness" of the world's setting a big theme of the book though? It's been ages since I read it, but I thought the implausibility of that universe, compared to the one we currently reside in was the thing driving the plot? I'm pretty sure one of the protagonists in the book explicitly briefly sees a vision of our universe (or one a lot closer to ours).

Either by somehow developing an ICBM in the forties This bit isn't all that implausible, actually, since it's basically a scaled-up V2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_%28rocket_family%29#A9.2FA10

radical meme posted:Or did you? Looked like a castle in the alps to me. Fun fact, in the book the man in the high castle is Hitler. And you never get to see him either (or even be on the same continent as him).

Pierogi posted:That's an interesting interpretation (or you don't know what you are talking about). You're right. I really need to re-read that book. In the book, Hitler is dying, and it's likely World War 3 will ensue when he does die. Hitler's historical chill out spot was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berghof_%28residence%29 - literally high up, pretty much a castle. I'd forgotten that the Grasshopper Lies Heavy author's house was specifically referred to as such in the book, though. Sorry guys!

Brother Friendship posted:I rewatched a scene from the finale and I saw something that cleared up a question I saw earlier in the thread. No, 'it was Soviet propaganda for Joseph Stalin from 1954.' That's all he says. It may or may not be our timeline - he died in 1953, but Kruschchev didn't denounce him until 1956 and he remained basically a saint up until them - but then neither is Grasshopper from the books. Either way, the Soviet Union had newsreel in the 50s and also English-language propaganda; it's not claiming it was US newsreel praising the guy. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Dec 15, 2015 |
