the Russian-American composer Gene Pritsker released his chamber opera William James's Varieties of Religious Experience. The 2015 The Man in the High Castle TV series season 2, episode 2, includes this as a book banned by the Japanese, who occupy the former western United States after World War II. One of the characters studies the book as he tries to understand his brief transport to what, for him, is the alternate reality of the United States having won World War II. The book also appears in the 2021 The Suicide Squad film, as King Shark reads it upside down.
