Complete with its very own public service announcement, Infinite Gestation dedicates an episode to The Man in the High Castle, covering the 1962 novel by Philip K. Dick, in addition to the series currently streaming on Amazon. Among the first of a multitude of works by various authors to cover an alternate history in which the United States has lost World War II, Dick’s atmospheric novel comes in at 253 pages (a fabulous Sunday read) – compared to the ten episode series. During this episode, major and minor departures in characters, story and plot find healthy debate throughout obsessive encyclopedic references, the ripe suggestion that Amazon “Peter Jacksoned the shit” out of the novel and more spoilers than you can shake a stick at, all topped off with some “final” final thoughts.
