A little confusing, I know, but bear with me. Both The Grasshopper Lies Heavy in the book and The Man In The High Castle in real life were written with the aid of the I Ching, with each and every plot development decided upon by consulting it. In the book, this results in The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, the story of an Allied-victory world that is rather over-the-top and somewhat implausible in just how total this victory is. And in real life, this resulted in The Man in the High Castle, the story of an Axis-victory world that is rather over-the-top and somewhat implausible in just how total this victory is.

And in real life, this resulted in The Man in the High Castle, the story of an Axis-victory world that is rather over-the-top and somewhat implausible in just how total this victory is. So the WMG is: not only is The Grasshopper Lies Heavy a skewed and flawed look at our world -- the real world -- as seen through the I Ching by Hawthorne Abendsen, but The Man in the High Castle is a skewed and flawed look at an Axis-victory world -- an equally real world -- as seen through the I Ching by Philip K Dick. And just to extend the WMG a little more: in that real Axis-victory world, circa 1962, an author named Hawthorne Abendsen wrote a novel called The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which featured a book-within-a-book called The Man In The High Castle written by a fictional character called Philip K Dick...
