Anyone that wants a "happy ending" and less paranoid PKD-like book should take a look at "The Lathe Of Heaven", which I have always thought of as Ursula Le Guin does PKD (of whom she was a huge fan).

Le Guin's essay "Science Fiction and Mrs. Brown" https://books.google.dk/books?id=ksOjjuy3issC&lpg=PA7&pg=PA1... is pretty appreciative of The Man In The High Castle.

Also the corresponding Philip K Dick book The Transmigration of Timothy Archer.

(They each wrote those books after meeting each other.)
