This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle

It focuses specifically on one of the main characters of the work, the Abwehr (Naval Counter-Intelligence) captain and agent Rudolph Wegner, who we are first introduced to under his disguise as Victor Baynes, a Swedish businessman who is traveling to the Pacific States of America in order to discuss plastic injection moldings with Japanese trade officials.  As it turns out, he is set to meet with the Japanese General Tedeki, to reveal a Nazi plot called Operation Dandelion, which involves a false flag operation in the Rocky Mountain States, a nuclear attack on the Japanese Home Islands, and the subsequent absorbtion of Japanese territories by the German Reich.
