I feel unequipped to properly comment on the political theory payed out by PKD in this book, and feel his books more centered philosophy and the human condition in regards to technology are more effective than the more overt political science fiction in this book, but still solid.
Graphic: Genocide, Hate crime, Racial slurs, Racism, Slavery, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, and Colonisation
Moderate: Ableism
It discusses a possible future where the Nazis won. Clearly not a pro nazi book, I believe it is quite anti-facist, but discusses some pretty difficult topics
