The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
5.0
This book begins with the assumption that Europe is decimated by the Black Plague, then follow character through all the great scientific discoveries anew, from the Persian Leonardo Da Vinci to the Japanese discovery of the New World, and how that time gives the Iroquois Nation time to mature.
Though this is a history of the world, Robinson's ability to build a character is as rich as ever, and each chapter ends with you understanding that person's world, motivations, and the weight their explorations has on their own lives.
