Scenarios about 'alternate technology'
The development of technologies that diverge from the historical path taken in our timeline, often exploring "what if" scenarios where different innovations gained prominence.

These technological divergences serve as critical foundations for many alternate history narratives by reshaping industrial capabilities, warfare, communication, and social structures.
