Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'post-industrial transition'

The shift in developed economies away from manufacturing-based production toward service sectors, knowledge work, and information technology beginning in the late 20th century. This fundamental economic restructuring transformed labor markets, urban landscapes, and social structures as traditional industrial centers declined while technology hubs and service economies emerged.
