The show was headlined by Lady Gaga , who performed a medley of her songs , including newer material from her most recent studio album Joanne . Gaga 's performance was critically acclaimed , with media outlets praising the show for demonstrating her artistic and musical qualities , and some arguing that it ranked among the top Super Bowl halftime performances in history . The show was also noted for its acknowledgment of the LGBT community , the use of a swarm of lighting - equipped drones for a pre-recorded intro scene , and its perceived political undertones . With 117.5 million television viewers , the Super Bowl LI halftime show was the second most - watched Super Bowl halftime show behind Katy Perry 's and had higher average viewership than the game itself .

Gaga started singing `` God Bless America '' as drones swarm behind her emitting red , blue and white color . She then sang Woody Guthrie 's `` This Land Is Your Land '' , followed by the ending of the Pledge of Allegiance : `` One nation under God , indivisible , with liberty and justice for all '' . Gaga then dove from the rooftop as the drones behind formed the design of the US flag . The singer came down and stood on a tall pillar across the stage , and started singing `` Poker Face '' as fireworks emitted behind her . After the first verse and chorus , Gaga , who was attached to a harness , bounced from the pillar to the main stage , and was joined by her dancers to sing `` Born This Way '' , including the track 's intermediate spoken verse . As the performance ended , Gaga headed towards one corner of the stage inside a star shaped structure , and sang `` Telephone '' . She was carried by a dancer to the main stage where she held a keytar and sang `` Just Dance '' . The singer proceeded to the grounds from the stage as the song completed . She reached a podium with a piano , and started singing `` Million Reasons '' . The audience present on the field drifted off in different directions holding the light sticks in their hands . Continuing the song , she came down from the stage and hugged members of the audience . For the finale of `` Bad Romance '' a team of white - clad dancers strutted across the main stage . Gaga joined them wearing a football inspired costume and performed the track . As fireworks erupted heralding the end of the show , Gaga reached the edge of the stage , shouted `` Super Bowl 51 '' , dropped her microphone , and jumped off stage catching a football . Background ( edit ) Gaga after performing the US national anthem at the Super Bowl 50 on February 7 , 2016 Around August 2016 , media started reporting that singer Adele was in discussion with the National Football League ( NFL ) to perform at the Super Bowl LI halftime show , to be held on February 5 , 2017 , at Houston 's NRG Stadium ; the show was sponsored by Pepsi Zero Sugar . A representative from the NFL said that `` organisers are doing absolutely everything they can to try to persuade her to sign up '' . During her Adele Live 2016 concert tour at Los Angeles , Adele clarified that although she had been offered to perform by the NFL , she had declined since she did not believe herself to be suitable for the halftime show . The NFL also explained that they had not signed any musician till then and were still in discussion with several artists . In the meantime , singer Lady Gaga had announced that she would be releasing her fifth studio album , Joanne , in October 2016 . Billboard reported that the NFL was discussing with the singer , based on her performance of the national anthem at the previous Super Bowl . On September 29 , 2016 , Gaga finally confirmed on her Instagram account that she would be performing at the halftime show . Fox Sports president and executive producer of the show , John Entz , confirmed Gaga 's involvement adding `` ( She ) is one of the most electric performers of our generation , and we could n't be happier with the choice to have her headline the Super Bowl LI Halftime Show ... It is going to be an incredible night . '' According to Emma Quigley , Pepsi 's North American head of music , and Justin Toman , Pepsi sports marketing director , choosing Gaga to headline the show made sense based on her previous output and musical endeavors . They considered various parameters -- social media followers , record sales , trending topic -- and then shortlisted her . Toman also took into account the total time it usually takes for the show -- seven minutes for set up , 12 minutes for the main show , and another seven minutes to dismantle -- and believed the singer could deliver `` power , punch , performance , singing , lights '' within that time frame . Pepsi sponsored the halftime show for the fifth - consecutive year . Development ( edit ) Conception ( edit ) A long shot view of the stage during the performance of `` Just Dance '' in the halftime show In October 2016 , Gaga told Entertainment Weekly she wanted to give `` the best show for the football fans , the ones that are watching at home '' . Although indecisive about the set list , the singer wanted to play a mixture of her past and recent songs . She also confirmed that the NFL had heard Joanne before its release , and decided to offer the halftime performance slot . Inspiration came from previous halftime show performances by Michael Jackson , Diana Ross , and Bruce Springsteen , with Gaga remarking that she loved `` all the ( past shows ) '' . In December 2016 , Gaga launched the `` Guest of Honor '' contest along with Pepsi and the NFL , which would enable her fans to win an opportunity to see the halftime show from the sidelines of the stage . The singer uploaded a video titled `` Fanifesto '' , talking about the power of fandom , and explained that one has to upload a 15 -- 60 second video on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtags # GOHContest and # PepsiHalftime by December 15 , professing their fandom for Gaga . Colin Stutz from Billboard revealed that Gaga would not be accompanied by any guest musicians for the show , which was a deviation from the shows of the past few years . Pepsi confirmed in a press release that a ten - second countdown would precede Gaga 's performance , where a lead - in featuring jazz singer Tony Bennett would be shown , produced by Creator 's Studio . Gaga confirmed planning to sing atop the dome of NRG Stadium , the idea given to her by her sister Natali Germanotta . Her team were worried about the safety hazards associated with the stunt , although Gaga continued to pursue it . The organizers considered airlifting the singer on top of the dome before the performance , or making her appear through the `` see - through '' roof of the stadium , which is retractable . Gaga 's lawyers worked on the logistics and the insurance associated with the stunt . The US media had expected Gaga to do `` something overtly political '' during her performance . NFL refuted news about them forbidding the singer to mention President Donald Trump during the show . A representative from the organization issued a statement saying , `` The Super Bowl is a time when people really come together . Lady Gaga is focused on putting together an amazing show for fans and we love working with her on it ; we are n't going to be distracted by this . '' Rehearsals ( edit ) I really had a real sense of being in the zone for this performance , worked on it for a really long time , took months , trained hard . Every second I wanted to give the world and my fans what they deserve , a great show . Its really exciting , I wanted to enjoy the moment not just be hell bent on everything . -- Gaga on the halftime show By January 2017 , Gaga started posting images on her social media accounts , showing her practicing for the show . She built a tent in her backyard where she could rehearse with her dancers . The group rehearsed in it for about 1.5 week , then moved to larger venues in Hollywood for working on the rest of the show . Finally , all the equipment was sent to Houston , where the last rehearsals took place . Gaga enlisted vocal coach Don Lawrence for helping her belt out the correct musical notes . Lawrence had worked with Gaga for her National Anthem performance previous year , as well as for her concert tours . A behind - the - scenes video from the rehearsals was uploaded by Pepsi , where Gaga explained that the main challenge was how to make the halftime performance different than the preceding years , but keep it still about the music . Choreographer Richy Jackson was shown in the middle of a session with the dancers , enacting the characteristic moves from the song , `` Bad Romance '' ( 2009 ) . Jackson said that the dancers were hand - picked and were among the personnel that had worked with the singer . He further added that the show would unveil a different aspect of Gaga , since she had never got the chance to perform on a big platform like the Super Bowl . As the day for the show approached , the singer kept posting short videos from rehearsal as well as behind - the - scenes . She showed her pre-game dance routines and choreography , FaceTimeing with her grandmother , warming up for the show , and the onstage activities . Toman explained that they wanted to have the general fans get `` a peek into the journey to halftime , tapping into the artist fanbase -- that really works . Doing a behind - the - scenes content program , giving people that glimpse of what it takes to prepare . People love that . So that really worked and we continue to do that . '' Fashion ( edit ) After the release of Joanne Gaga had worn simplistic fashion , deviating from her previous outrageous attires . Prior to the halftime show , there was much speculation regarding her fashion for the performance . Versace had created all the looks for the show , including the final look which was inspired by the label 's Spring 2017 collection . The singer wore a custom created , Atelier Versace , iridescent colored jumpsuit , which was beaded over with Swarovski crystals , along with high shoulder pads and matching knee length boots . The body suit facilitated swift movement onstage , aiding the mobility for the singer . According to fashion expert Cameron Silver , Gaga 's final look for the performance of `` Bad Romance '' was the `` most interesting '' . It consisted of silver hot pants with sequins on it , with a footballer shoulder - pad like jacket . Both the dresses were deemed as a `` customary nod '' to Gaga 's past by Billboard , who added that `` It was a solid balance of glam and sexy without overdoing it ( ... ) ( The dress ) gave fantasy to her fans . She looked great . She sounded great . It 's like she was playing football in heels . '' In between the performance , Gaga also wore a golden jacket which had shoulder spikes , while playing the keytar . Gaga 's looks were styled by her longtime collaborator Brandon Maxwell , while her makeup was influenced by singer David Bowie 's persona Ziggy Stardust . Donatella Versace herself flew to Houston to help with the costumes , including dressing the singer herself before the show . Gaga 's makeup was done by artist Sarah Nicole Tanno and her hair was coiffured by Frederic Aspiras . Tanno used products from Marc Jacobs ' cosmetics line to give a `` timeless '' look for Gaga . The singer wore a pair of eye masks made of crystals , extending till her temples . According to Vanessa Friedman from The New York Times , choosing Versace as her fashion brand for the costumes `` helped to support a subtler , arguably more powerful , message '' by Gaga . She had promised to make the show about `` inclusion '' and to that extent , using Versace and a number of other designers like Dr. Martens and Vera Wang made it a point . Multimedia ( edit ) During `` Million Reasons '' a field cast used Glow Motion LED Batons , creating a three - dimensional moving pixels show . The production work on the show was done by designers Bruce Rodgers of Tribe Inc. and LeRoy Bennett , and lighting designer Bob Barnhart of 22 Degrees . The stage was created by All Access Staging & Productions , who had also created previous Super Bowl halftime stages . Key features of the stage consisted of a main platform , two towers , three star - shaped side stages , a piano dome and a stage lift . The towers were around 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) tall and could be carried by carts to the field for set - up . All Access had only 4.5 weeks to create the whole piece with the main stage itself , and required 17 trucks for storage and transport . The show utilized LED system from Verrents and sound by ATK Audio tek . Around 5,000 LED lights were embedded in the stage , which was a record number . Special effects group Strictly FX was behind all the pyrotechnics . Both Rodgers and Bennett combined the individual ideas for the show , and took inputs from Barnhart and special effects designer Mark Grega from FX . Rodgers called the stage setup as `` the most intense technological and visually impactful epic possible '' . The show featured a field cast led by KP Terry ; they used Glow Motion LED batons , creating a 3D moving pixels show . A Nashville - based company , Glow Motion programmed each of the individual batons to sync with the music being played . `` All our field cast and staging experts , technicians and vendors ( had ) stepped up to support the vision , and Gaga herself , having embraced the concept early on , ( had ) taken on the task with more interest and heart than any other artist that I 've worked with in the last 11 years , '' Rodgers concluded . Lighting for the show was supplied by Production Resource Group ( PRG ) . Chris Conti from the company shared Barnhart 's floor planning for the lighting setup , which utilized DMX512 for controlling the whole system . Barnhart recalled that `` ( the ) show was a little more complicated this year , due to the amount of scenery that we normally do n't have on a halftime show '' , but it was better since there were no video backdrops . All around the roof of NRG Stadium , an array of 36 Clay Paky Sharpy fixtures were added , which lit the Houston night skyline with light beams . Barnhart also arranged a backlight array fixture , using Philips Vari - Lite VL4000 and PRG Best Boy . LED tape was used around the main production area . They were controlled by the lighting team and could light the stage from afar . Director Hamish Hamilton and his crew devised their own way of capturing and transmitting the show for the live audience . Drones ( edit ) See also : Quadcopter § Art For performing on top of NRG Stadium , Gaga was accompanied by a fleet of 300 synchronized , LED - equipped `` Shooting Star '' quadcopter drones provided by Intel , which formed an image of the American flag behind the singer . It marked the first time that the drones had been used as part of a television broadcast . According to Intel 's senior vice president Josh Walden , `` Gaga and the Super Bowl creative team wanted to pull off something that had never been done before ... The potential for these light show drones is endless '' . Barnhart explained that he had wanted to use drones in the Super Bowl for many years , but never encountered the correct technology until Intel 's drones . With the permission from producer Ricky Kirshner , he reached out to Intel representatives and told them that he wanted to use their drone technology for a `` large TV show in February . I ca n't give you money , but I can give you exposure '' . Hearing that the Super Bowl will expose the technology to over 110 million television sets across the country , Intel agreed . Since the drones did not fly indoors , Barnhart wrote a new creative segment for the opening with Gaga singing atop the roof of the stadium with the drones flying behind her . The segment was filmed earlier in the week due to safety concerns regarding performing the formation over the live audience . The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) had forbidden drones from being used within a 34.5 miles ( 55.5 km ) radius of NRG Stadium ( which is also located near William P. Hobby Airport ) . The production staff obtained special permission from the FAA in order to perform the drone acrobatics . The drones used for the show had a plastic and foam body for soft impacts , and were about 1 foot ( 0.30 m ) square and weighed 8 ounces ( 0.50 lb ) . They were connected to a central computer through wireless and executed individual choreography , each being oblivious to what the other drones ' position was . The computer checked the GPS signal strength and battery level of the drones , while assigning their roles accordingly . Intel had started preparing from early December 2016 , working out the logistics . After coming to a consensus with the creative team , they started storyboarding the drones , finally accepting to display a star array , the American flag and the Pepsi logo . Critical response ( edit ) Gaga performing `` Born This Way '' during the show in the Atelier Versace iridescent colored jumpsuit Gaga 's performance at the halftime show was critically acclaimed . A writer for Time described the show as `` among the very best in the history of the form , racing ambitiously through the artist 's entire career and putting forward the qualities of the artist that just work '' . The New Yorker review described Gaga and the show as `` an astute , intense , and disciplined performance '' . Andrew Unterberger from Billboard felt that the performance would go down as `` one of the best halftime sets of the century '' and that it had cemented Gaga as a `` legacy artist ... It was Gaga through and through , and every song felt more gratifying than the last ... ( R ) eminding you why Gaga 's pop supremacy was so inarguable not all that long ago . '' Unterberger noted that there was nothing `` outrageous '' in the show . Chris Chase of Fox Sports said that the halftime show would `` go down with Michael , Prince , Beyoncé , and Bruce as the greatest ever . '' Marguerite Ward from CNBC considered the show to be Gaga 's comeback , noting how she had announced in 2015 that she would retire . `` Fast forward to 2017 . ( Lady Gaga ) is back on the global stage , gearing up for a new world tour , '' she added . Writing for Variety , Sonia Saraiya described the show as `` breathtaking '' and `` soar ( ing ) '' , but felt it `` lacked an iconic moment or emotional button '' . Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter was disappointed that the show never had a `` close - up or any sort of swooping medium - shot to accentuate ( Gaga 's ) movement '' , and felt that `` the weakly presented dive '' detracted from Gaga 's rendition of `` God Bless America '' and `` This Land Is Your Land '' . Nico Land from Salon noted that Gaga became the first artist to refer to the LGBT community during a Super Bowl halftime show when she sang `` Born This Way '' . Land considered this a `` crucial milestone '' for the community . He said that `` Putting LGBT issues on the main stage at the Super Bowl served as a powerful message of queer solidarity in the face on an unprecedented wave of challenges from our government . '' Although Gaga did not openly criticize Trump , Land viewed the singer 's opening performance was a subtle `` dig '' at the President . Singing `` This Land Is Your Land '' , a protest anthem for the Women 's Marches across the country following Trump 's inauguration , Gaga referred to Trump 's policies on immigration . According to Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair , the performance was a `` dog whistle '' against Trump 's plans to construct a wall between United States and Mexico . At the 69th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards , the halftime show was nominated in 6 categories : Outstanding Special Class Program , Outstanding Production Design for Variety , Nonfiction , Event or Award Special , Outstanding Lighting Design / Lighting Direction for a Variety Special , Outstanding Technical Direction , Camerawork , Video Control for a Limited Series , Movie , or Special , Outstanding Music Direction , and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special and won for Outstanding Lighting Design . It was also the most nominations received by a halftime show at the Emmy Awards .

The Man in the High Castle - wikipedia The Man in the High Castle Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the novel . For the 2015 TV adaptation , see The Man in the High Castle ( TV series ) . The Man in the High Castle Cover of first edition ( hardcover ) Author Philip K. Dick Country United States Language English Genre Alternate history Publisher Putnam Publication date October 1962 Media type Print ( Hardcover & Paperback ) Pages 240 OCLC 145507009 Dewey Decimal 813.54 The Man in the High Castle ( 1962 ) is an alternate history novel by American writer Philip K. Dick . Set in 1962 , fifteen years after an alternative ending to World War II , the novel concerns intrigues between the victorious Axis Powers -- primarily , Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany -- as they rule over the former United States , as well as daily life under the resulting totalitarian rule . The Man in the High Castle won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963 . Beginning in 2015 , the book was adapted as a multi-season TV series , with Dick 's daughter , Isa Dick Hackett , serving as one of the show 's producers . Reported inspirations include Ward Moore 's alternate Civil War history , Bring the Jubilee ( 1953 ) , various classic World War II histories , and the I Ching ( referred to in the novel ) . The novel features a `` novel within the novel '' comprising an alternate history within this alternate history wherein the Allies defeat the Axis ( though in a manner distinct from the actual historical outcome ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Synopsis 1.1 Background 1.2 Plot summary 2 The Grasshopper Lies Heavy 3 Inspirations 4 Reception 5 Adaptations 5.1 Audiobook 5.2 Television 6 Incomplete sequel 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links Synopsis ( edit ) Fictional map of the world after the Axis victory Briefly , The Man in the High Castle is a `` fictional picture of a world divided by Germany and Japan , victors of the second World War '' . Background ( edit ) In the novel 's alternate history , U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was assassinated by Giuseppe Zangara in 1934 leading to the continuation of the Great Depression and U.S. isolationism during the opening of World War II . Adolf Hitler led Nazi Germany to conquer most of Europe and the Soviet Union , murdering Jews , Roma , Slavs , and other groups . Meanwhile , Imperial Japan occupied China , before taking control of India and Oceania . The Nazis then helped Italy conquer most of Africa . As Japan invaded the U.S. West Coast , Germany invaded the U.S. East Coast and most of South America . By 1947 , the U.S. and the remaining Allies surrendered to the Axis , ending the war . By the 1960s , Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany are the world 's competing superpowers , with Japan establishing the `` Pacific States of America '' ( P.S.A. ) from the former Western United States , with the remaining Rocky Mountain States now a neutral buffer zone between the P.S.A. and the Nazi - occupied former Eastern United States . For unknown reasons , Canada remains independent . Hitler , though still alive , is incapacitated from advanced syphilis , and Martin Bormann has become Chancellor of Germany , with Goebbels , Heydrich , Göring , Seyss - Inquart ( who oversees the extermination of the peoples of Africa ) , and other Nazi leaders soon vying to take his place . The Nazis have drained the Mediterranean to make room for farmland , developed and used the hydrogen bomb , and designed rockets for extremely fast travel across the world as well as space , having colonized the Moon , Venus , and Mars . The novel is set mostly in San Francisco in the P.S.A. ; here , Chinese residents first appear in the novel as second - class citizens and black people as slaves . The secondary setting of the novel is the Rocky Mountains States , namely the cities of Cañon City , Denver and Cheyenne . Plot summary ( edit ) In 1962 , fifteen years after Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany have won World War II , Robert `` Bob '' Childan owns an Americana antique shop in San Francisco , California ( located in the Japanese - occupied Pacific States of America ) , which is most commonly frequented by the Japanese , who make a fetish of romanticized American cultural artifacts . Childan is contacted by Nobusuke Tagomi , a high - ranking Japanese trade official , who is seeking a gift to impress a visiting Swedish industrialist named Baynes . Childan 's store is stocked in part with antiques from the Wyndam - Matson Corporation , a metalworking company . Frank Frink ( formerly Fink ) , a secretly Jewish -- American veteran of World War II , has just been fired from the Wyndam - Matson factory , when he agrees to join a former coworker to begin a handcrafted jewelry business . Meanwhile , Frink 's ex-wife , Juliana , works as a judo instructor in Cañon City , Colorado ( in the neutral buffer zone of Mountain States ) , where she begins a sexual relationship with an Italian truck driver and ex-soldier , Joe Cinnadella . Throughout the book , many of these characters frequently make important decisions using prophetic messages they interpret from the I Ching . Many characters are also reading a widely banned yet extremely popular new novel , The Grasshopper Lies Heavy , which depicts an alternate history in which the Allies won World War II , a concept that amazes and intrigues its readers . Frink reveals that the Wyndam - Matson Corporation has been supplying Childan with counterfeit antiques , which effectively works to blackmail Wyndam - Matson for money to finance Frink 's new jewelry venture . Tagomi and Baynes meet , but Baynes repeatedly delays any real business as they await an expected third party from Japan . Suddenly , the public receives news of the death of the recently ill Chancellor of Germany , Martin Bormann . Childan tentatively , on consignment , takes some of Frink 's `` authentic '' new metalwork and attempts to curry favor with a Japanese client , who surprisingly considers Frink 's jewellery immensely spiritually alive . Juliana and Joe take a road trip to Denver , Colorado , and Joe impulsively decides they should go on a side - trip to meet the mysterious Hawthorne Abendsen , author of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy , who supposedly lives in a guarded fortress - like estate called the `` High Castle '' in Cheyenne , Wyoming . Soon , Joseph Goebbels is announced as the new German Chancellor . Baynes and Tagomi finally meet their Japanese contact as two agents of the Nazi secret police , the Sicherheitsdienst ( SD ) , close in to arrest Baynes , who is actually revealed to be a Nazi defector named Rudolf Wegener . Wegener warns his contact , a famed Japanese general , of Operation Dandelion , an upcoming Goebbels - approved plan for the Nazis to surprise - attack the Japanese Home Islands , in order to obliterate them in one swift stroke . As Frink is elsewhere exposed as a Jew and arrested , Wegener and Tagomi are confronted by the SD agents , both of whom Tagomi shoots dead with an antique American pistol . Back in Colorado , Joe abruptly changes his appearance and mannerisms before the trip to the High Castle , leading Juliana to deduce that he intends to actually murder Abendsen . Joe confirms this , revealing himself to be an undercover Swiss Nazi assassin . Juliana mortally wounds Joe and drives off to warn Abendsen of the threat to his life . Wegener flies back to Germany where upon landing learns that Reinhard Heydrich ( a member of the anti-Dandelion faction ) has launched a coup against Goebbels , possibly installing himself as Chancellor . Meanwhile , Tagomi remains shaken by the shootout and goes to Childan to sell back the gun he used in the fight ; however , instead , sensing the energy from one of Frink 's jewelery items , Tagomi impulsively buys it from Childan , before undergoing a spiritually intense ambiguous moment where he momentarily perceives an alternative - history version of San Francisco . Later , Tagomi on a whim forces the German authorities to release Frink , whom Tagomi has never met and does not know is the maker of the jewelery . Juliana soon has her own spiritual experience when she arrives in Cheyenne . There , she discovers that Abendsen now lives in a normal house with his family , having left behind the High Castle due to a change of outlook ; he no longer preoccupies himself with thoughts that he might soon be assassinated . After dodging many of Juliana 's questions about his inspiration for his novel , Abendsen finally confesses that he in fact used the I Ching to guide his writing of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy . Before leaving , Juliana infers then that `` Truth '' wrote the book in order to reveal the `` Inner Truth '' that Japan and Germany really lost World War II . The Grasshopper Lies Heavy ( edit ) Several characters in The Man in the High Castle read the popular novel The Grasshopper Lies Heavy , by Hawthorne Abendsen , whose title is assumed or supposed to have come from the Bible verse `` The grasshopper shall be a burden '' ( Ecclesiastes 12 : 5 ) . Thus , The Grasshopper Lies Heavy constitutes a novel within a novel , wherein Abendsen writes of an alternative universe , where the Axis Powers lost World War II ( 1939 -- 1947 ) . For this reason , the Germans have banned the novel in the occupied U.S. , but it is widely read in the Pacific , and its publication is legal in the neutral countries . The Grasshopper Lies Heavy postulates that President Roosevelt survives an assassination attempt but forgoes re-election in 1940 , honoring George Washington 's two - term limit . The next president , Rexford Tugwell , removes the Pacific Fleet from Pearl Harbor , Hawaii , saving it from Japanese attack , which ensures that the U.S. enters the conflict a well - equipped naval power . The United Kingdom retains most of its military - industrial strength , contributing more to the Allied war effort , leading to Rommel 's defeat in North Africa ; the British advance through the Caucasus to fight alongside the Soviets to victory in the Battle of Stalingrad ; Italy reneges on its membership in the Axis Powers and betrays them ; British tanks and the Red Army jointly conquer Berlin ; at the end of the war , the Nazi leaders -- including Adolf Hitler -- are tried for their war crimes , wherein the Führer 's last words are Deutsche , hier steh ' ich ( `` Germans , here I stand '' ) , in imitation of Martin Luther . After the war , Winston Churchill remains the British Prime Minister , and , because of its military - industrial might , the British Empire does not collapse . The Soviet Union , crippled by war losses , collapses . The U.S. establishes strong business relations with Chiang Kai - shek 's right - wing regime in China after vanquishing the Communist Mao Zedong in the Chinese Civil War . The British Empire becomes more racist and expansionist post-war , while the U.S. outlaws Jim Crow laws , resolving its racism by the 1950s . Both changes provoke racial - cultural tensions between the U.S. and the U.K. , leading them to a Cold War for global hegemony between their two vaguely liberal , democratic , capitalist societies . Although the end of the novel is never depicted in the text , one character claims the book ends with the British Empire eventually defeating the U.S. , becoming the sole world superpower . Inspirations ( edit ) Dick said he conceived The Man in the High Castle when reading Bring the Jubilee ( 1953 ) , by Ward Moore , which occurs in an alternative nineteenth - century U.S. wherein the Confederate States of America won the American Civil War . In the acknowledgments to the book , he mentions other influences : The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich ( 1960 ) , by William L. Shirer ; Hitler : A Study in Tyranny ( 1962 ) , by Alan Bullock ; The Goebbels Diaries ( 1948 ) , Louis P. Lochner , translator ; Foxes of the Desert ( 1960 ) , by Paul Carrell ; and the 1950 translation of the I Ching by Richard Wilhelm . The acknowledgments have three references to traditional Japanese and Tibetan poetic forms ; ( i ) volume one of the Anthology of Japanese Literature ( 1955 ) , edited by Donald Keene , from which is cited the haiku on page 48 ; ( ii ) from Zen and Japanese Culture ( 1955 ) , by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki , from which is cited a waka on page 135 ; and ( iii ) the Tibetan Book of the Dead ( 1960 ) , edited by Walter Evans - Wentz . Nathanael West 's Miss Lonelyhearts ( 1933 ) is also mentioned in the text , written before the Roosevelt assassination divergence point that separates the world of The Man in the High Castle from ours . In this novella , `` Miss Lonelyhearts '' is a male newspaper journalist who writes anonymous advice as an agony aunt to forlorn readers during the height of the Great Depression ; hence , `` Miss Lonelyhearts '' tries to find consolation in religion , casual sex , rural vacations , and work , none of which provide him with the sense of authenticity and engagement with the outside world that he needs . West 's book is about the elusive quality of interpersonal relationships and quest for personal meaning at a time of political turmoil within the United States . Philip Dick used the I Ching to make decisions crucial to the plot of The Man in the High Castle just as characters within the novel use the I Ching to guide decisions . Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion with : further , broader statements aimed at encyclopedic , balanced views . You can help by adding to it . ( February 2014 ) In The Religion of Science Fiction , Frederick A. Kreuziger explores the theory of history implied by Dick 's creation of the two alternative realities : Neither of the two worlds , however , the revised version of the outcome of WWII nor the fictional account of our present world , is anywhere near similar to the world we are familiar with . But they could be ! This is what the book is about . The book argues that this world , described twice , although differently each time , is exactly the world we know and are familiar with . Indeed , it is the only world we know : the world of chance , luck , fate . Avram Davidson praised the novel as a `` superior work of fiction '' , citing Dick 's use of the I Ching as `` fascinating '' . Davidson concluded that `` It 's all here -- extrapolation , suspense , action , art , philosophy , plot , ( and ) character . '' The Man in the High Castle secured for Dick the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel . A new paperback edition of the novel was published in 1992 by Vintage Books . Adaptations ( edit ) Audiobook ( edit ) An unabridged The Man in the High Castle audiobook , read by George Guidall and running approximately 9.5 hours over seven audio cassettes , was released in 1997 . Another unabridged audiobook version was released in 2008 by Blackstone Audio , read by Tom Wyner and running approximately 8.5 hours over seven CDs . A third unabridged audiobook recording was released in 2014 by Brilliance Audio , read by Jeff Cummings with a running time of 9 hours 58 minutes . Television ( edit ) Main article : The Man in the High Castle ( TV series ) After a number of attempts to adapt the book to the screen , in October 2014 Amazon 's film production unit began filming the pilot episode of The Man in the High Castle in Roslyn , Washington , for release through the Amazon Prime Web video streaming service . The pilot episode was released by Amazon Studios on January 15 , 2015 , and was Amazon 's `` most watched pilot ever '' according to Amazon Studios ' vice president , Roy Price . On February 18 , 2015 , Amazon green - lit the series . The show became available for streaming on November 20 , 2015 . The television series diverges from the novel in many significant respects . Both the Pacific States of America and the Eastern American puppet state appear to be mere provinces of the Japanese and German empires without any apparent autonomous ( even quisling ) government institutions whatsoever . The Rocky Mountain States become an anarchic Neutral Zone . World War II appears to have ended following the destruction of Washington , D.C. with an atomic bomb , rather than a land invasion as in the book . As for Hitler , while elderly , he is apparently mostly hale in his Season 1 finale appearance , though other characters elsewhere in the season do reference his supposed physical infirmity . In the novel , the Italian Empire is a minor power that controls North Africa and the Middle East ; in the series , however , it is shown through maps that these territories are part of the Nazi Empire , suggesting that either the Italian Empire was annexed after the war or is self - governing within the Reich . Characters from the book that do appear are in most cases far more fleshed out with deeper and sometimes rather different backstories than their novel originals . For instance , Wegener is a Standartenführer in the SS , rather than a naval captain ( and oddly there are no German military or naval -- as opposed to SS -- personnel depicted anywhere in the first season ) . Rather than being a member of an organized internal resistance ( and despite his relatively low rank ) Wegener is a close personal confidante of Hitler and his disillusionment with the regime appears to be largely personal . Juliana and Frank are unmarried , but living together , rather than divorced and separated . Frank has a sister , nephew and niece , although they are killed early in the series , and this propels him into a more active role in relation to the resistance . Juliana also has a sister whose murder by the Kenpeitai early in the season instigates her search for the mysterious Man in the High Castle , as well as her having a mother and stepfather who are significant supporting characters . Joe Cinnadella is renamed Joe Blake and as he becomes closer to Juliana appears to have growing doubts about his role as a Nazi agent . Robert Childan is , however , a more minor character in Season 1 than the original , while Ed McCarthy has a rather more prominent and active role . There are several major additional characters introduced by the television series and numerous narrative details and the plotline differ radically from the source novel . For example , the planned Nazi pre-emptive nuclear strike on Japan , `` Operation Dandelion , '' is apparently being prevented only by Hitler 's personal refusal to authorise it , leading Heydrich and the faction demanding pre-emptive war to plot the Führer 's assassination . In addition , Hawthorne Abendsen does not appear in the first season of the television version and The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is a series of newsreel films depicting multiple alternative realities rather than a novel ( although this idea may actually be borrowed from Dick 's later novel Valis which features a mysterious film depicting yet another dystopian alternative history of the USA ) . As of the Season 1 finale , these films are being tracked down by SS agents like Blake for dispatch to Hitler for an as - yet - unknown purpose . In season two we see a map on John Smith 's wall of the world . From this map we can see that Japan controls the entirety of the Pacific Ocean and most of the Asian continent , including China , India and half of Russia . Japan is also shown to control Australia , New Zealand , western Canada , Alaska and , all pacific states in the USA . We also see that that the Japanese Empire controls the Yucatán Peninsula and South American countries like Chile . In contrast , Nazi Germany is shown as controlling all of Europe , Africa and the Middle East . The German Empire also controls all of the United States and Canada up to the Rockies in the west and South American countries like Brazil . Germany also controls the western parts of former USSR such as the Ukraine . There are also buffer zones between the empires . Neither empire seems to have invaded Mexico and this neutral zone continues up through the Rockies and through Canada . A similar neutral zone is seen dividing Russia in half . Season two also shows two very different lifestyles in the Japanese controlled Pacific states and the German controlled east . The Germans have colonized the eastern states and are assimilating its inhabitants into Nazi beliefs . The Japanese Empire is occupying the pacific states versus colonizing them . There is enforced segregation between Japanese and Americans citizens . It is implied that Native Americans and Pacific Islanders were exterminated by the Germans . Incomplete sequel ( edit ) In a 1976 interview , Dick said he planned to write a sequel novel to The Man in the High Castle : `` And so there 's no real ending on it . I like to regard it as an open ending . It will segue into a sequel sometime . '' Dick said that he had `` started several times to write a sequel '' , but progressed little , because he was too disturbed by his original research for The Man in the High Castle and could not mentally bear `` to go back and read about Nazis again . '' He suggested that the sequel would be a collaboration with another author : Somebody would have to come in and help me do a sequel to it . Someone who had the stomach for the stamina to think along those lines , to get into the head ; if you 're going to start writing about Reinhard Heydrich , for instance , you have to get into his face . Can you imagine getting into Reinhard Heydrich 's face ? Two chapters of the proposed sequel were published in The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick , a collection of his essays and other writings . Dick 's novel Radio Free Albemuth is rumored to have started as a sequel to The Man in the High Castle . Dick described the plot of this early version of Radio Free Albemuth -- then titled VALISystem A -- writing : ... a divine and loving ETI ( extraterrestrial intelligence ) ... help ( s ) Hawthorne Abendsen , the protagonist - author in ( The Man in the High Castle ) , continue on in his difficult life after the Nazi secret police finally got to him ... VALISystem A , located in deep space , sees to it that nothing , absolutely nothing , can prevent Abendsen from finishing his novel . The novel eventually evolved into a new story unrelated to The Man in the High Castle . Dick ultimately abandoned the Albemuth book , unpublished during his lifetime , though portions were salvaged and used for 1981 's VALIS . The full book was published in 1985 , three years after Dick 's death .

She introduces the programme and the problem which needs to be solved , provides a recap in the middle , and summarises the story at the end of the episode . Archie the Inventor builds zany creations from household objects , such as boxes , bottles , yoghurt pots , string , and similar items that young children might typically use in craft projects . His inventions are intended to be useful , but sometimes backfire . Josie Jump is the fitness instructor at the primary school next door to Miss Hoolie 's nursery school . She plays and coaches all types of gymnastics , sports , and dance , and encourages the young viewers to exercise . She is also talented at storytelling through expressive movement and dance . Edie McCredie drives the nursery school bus . She has travelled all over the world , and has a variety of photographs and souvenirs to talk about . She is also an expert driver and motor mechanic , and occasionally gets exasperated with other road users . Police officer PC Plum aspires to be a master detective , but Balamory is a crime free village . He spends most of his time watching wildlife and using his detective skills , to figure out what the animals have been doing . He is also particularly interested in rules , regulations , and safety . Spencer is officially responsible for painting the coloured houses of Balamory , but also paints pictures and creates music . His painter 's ladder is musical , each rung sounding a different note . Spencer is also the only American to reside in Balamory and he is black . Suzie Sweet and Penny Pocket together run the village shop and cafe . Suzie Sweet is an older , grandmotherly figure who loves to tell customers about the items in the shop . Penny Pocket is a young woman who uses a wheelchair ; she has a talent for mathematics . Episodes ( edit ) A typical episode follows this general plan : The opening credits show the town of `` Balamory '' with its brightly coloured houses . Miss Hoolie opens the nursery school , greets the nursery children , and talks about that day 's weather . One of the other characters ( who will be the main character of that episode ) tells Miss Hoolie about a problem . This character then sings `` Which Coloured House Are We Going To ? '' , asking the young viewers to guess which of the Balamory characters will be most helpful in solving the problem . The main character then proceeds to visit several other characters until the problem is solved . Miss Hoolie and the main character provide a summary of the story at each point , and a final recap at the end of the episode . For example , in one episode Josie Jump has been asked to look after a neighbour 's rabbit , but does not know what it needs . She is advised to visit PC Plum , who advises her to feed it vegetables . She then goes to the shop run by Pocket and Sweet to buy rabbit food , and finally brings the rabbit to Miss Hoolie 's nursery for the children to feed and pat it . Each episode of Balamory contains at least five songs : `` What 's the Story in Balamory ? '' , the theme song Miss Hoolie 's opening song , either `` Everybody , Everyone '' if the nursery school is open , or one of the two `` day off '' songs otherwise `` Which Coloured House Are We Going To ? '' , sung by the main character after presenting his or her problem Character - specific songs , sung by the characters visited by the main character Episode guide ( edit ) Series One Series Two Series Three Series Four Audience ( edit ) The programme was aimed at pre schoolers . The programme 's creator had intended it as a `` soap opera for children '' . The show can also be seen in a humorous light . The characters in Balamory are somewhat naive and light hearted , often appearing to be children trapped in adult bodies with adult roles . The storyline revolves around simple problems designed to challenge pre schoolers ' minds . Songs ( edit ) There are many songs in Balamory , mainly sung by the actors . These songs are used consistently throughout the series , when corresponding characters or circumstances are introduced . In the run starting from September 2004 , new songs were introduced . These songs are longer and take up more time in the episode , so the old versions were still often used . In addition to the character specific songs mentioned in the `` Characters '' section , there are two general songs : `` What 's the Story in Balamory ? '' is the show 's theme song , sung over the opening titles and played as an instrumental over the closing credits . `` Which Coloured House Are We Going To ? '' is sung by the main character of each episode after introducing that episode 's problem . Production ( edit ) Very few episodes feature actors other than the main characters and the nursery children . Terry Wogan made a guest appearance in one episode ( The Game Show ) as a television director . This episode also featured Greg Hemphill ( Julie Wilson Nimmo 's husband in real life ) and John Altman , who plays Nick Cotton in the BBC soap opera EastEnders . Celebrity chef Keith Floyd appeared in Suzie Sweet 's song `` Suzie 's Cookin ' '' . Occasionally , the shots of children entering the nursery are cut down for repeats for time reasons . Retirement ( edit ) On 30 April 2005 , the BBC announced that it would not order another season of the series , citing they wanted to experiment and create more new programme ideas . In that year , all the cast ( except for two of them ) performed a farewell touring show called `` Balamory Live : Strike up the Band '' , a follow up to the `` Balamory Live : What 's The Story '' tour from 2004 . By the time the programme was retired , many of the cast were also keen to move on . Miles Jupp , who played Archie , stated that his role caused some problems when he was performing stand up on the Edinburgh Fringe , due to parents assuming his show was child friendly , and bringing their children to see it . Julie Wilson Nimmo , who played Miss Hoolie , complained that she could not take her children to the local play area without being mobbed .
