Alternate history fiction

Alternate history fiction explores “what if” scenarios by imagining how historical events could have unfolded differently. It reinterprets real-world history, altering key moments—such as elections, wars, or technological discoveries—to consider the potential impacts on society and the world. This genre allows readers to explore complex ideas about causality, choice, and consequence while engaging with familiar historical settings. It’s a creative way to analyze history’s possibilities, offering insight into how small changes could lead to vastly different futures.
