Yeah, the Man in the High Castle. My friend, Brokk Steingass, legally changed his name to Hawthorne Abendsen, because he’s been trying to write “The Grasshopper Lies Heavy”, the book within the book written by Hawthorne Abendsen, I mean, the book in the book written by Phillip K. Dick. And in that book, no, in the real world that we are in, Phil K. Dick wrote a book where the axis won the war. And in that book, there’s a man, Hawthorne Abendsen,who wrote a book wherein the allies won the war, about our world, see? So in our world, what my freind, Hawthorne Abendsen, the Hawthorne in our world, is trying to do, is write, in our world, the book that, in Phillip K. Dick’s book world, is the book about our world.

E.S.

But… isn’t that just like any book you pick up, then? About our world, I mean.

No, not even close. Well, actually I guess you’re right. But he’s using the I Ching to do it! Which is what Phil Dick used to write the book about the book by Hawthorne Abendson, which was written by using the I Ching. Plus, Brokk changed his name to Hawthorne Abendsen. But, it, it’s all about folding space, too…
