520 |a Amazon Studios' television adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel The Man in the High Castle, an alternate history in which the Axis powers won World War II, highlights Dick's preoccupation with issues of national and personal identity, the contingencies of history, and what we might call the sacred power of certain texts to shape reality by shaping worldviews. Dick gives the I Ching a central role in his novel, and consulted it himself for plot advice. This article argues that Dick elevates the world-creating influence of popular literature and media by positioning The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, a novel-in-the-novel that depicts a history much like our own, as an equally 'sacred' text.
