All warfare is narrative warfare.
The tanks and bombs, or drones and robodogs, the explosions and killings, the military dominance and monopoly on violence are all about one thing.
Whose story wins.
Imagine you woke up tomorrow and everyone around you spoke German and Japanese. White Americans are the underclass. The history youtube channels all tell you America lost WW2. The statue of liberty is draped in a swastika.
Would it matter that it isn’t “true” if everyone believed it?
There have been many alternate history novels that played out this scenario.
But the novel which made Philip K Dick famous isn’t an alternate history.
It’s a novel of alternate stories.
And a handbook of narrative warfare.
