2024 Galactic Book Odyssey: A Science Fiction Genre Tour - hosted by nedens

Alternate History
Dive into the tantalizing 'what-ifs' of history with the Alternate History subtopic. In these pages, you'll explore worlds where history took a different turn – timelines where the outcomes of battles, discoveries, or key events changed the course of human civilization. 

Alternate History offers a fascinating blend of real historical context with imaginative speculation, creating scenarios that are both familiar and startlingly unique. From Philip K. Dick’s 'The Man in the High Castle', depicting an alternate post-WWII world dominated by Axis powers, to Harry Turtledove’s 'The Guns of the South', where the course of the American Civil War is altered by time travelers, each story invites you to reimagine the past. These narratives will challenge you to consider how small changes in history could lead to radically different futures. 

Prepare to embark on a journey through time, where history as we know it is just the beginning!
