Scenarios about 'biotechnology'

Biotechnology refers to the use of biological systems, organisms, or derivatives to develop or create different products and technologies for specific uses. This field combines biology with technology to develop applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry, with historical roots in ancient fermentation techniques evolving into modern genetic engineering. In alternate history scenarios, biotechnology often represents divergent scientific development paths, creating worlds with advanced genetic modifications, biological weapons, or medical capabilities that dramatically reshape societies and power structures.
