| 520 | |a Through a critical investigation of Philip K. Dick's best-selling novel The Man in the High Castle, this essay attempts to unearth deeper levels of characterisation and motifs in the novel by discovering the implicit and nuanced symbolisms of the I Ching (Book of Changes) incorporated within it.
