I hate sharing good things with other people. I was into Hannibal and Arrested Development long before anyone else was, and I felt a pang of regret when the rest of the world caught on.
So I’m in two minds about Amazon’s new series The Man in the High Castle (viewable on amazon.co.uk). On the plus side, it’s very good. On the down side, it’s based on a book by Philip K Dick – and he belongs to me.
Dick was the junkie genius of American sci-fi. He wrote pulpy books for the mass market infused with his own drug-fuelled, beat-poet philosophy.
