Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'technology'

Technology encompasses the tools, machines, systems, and methods created through the application of scientific knowledge to solve problems or perform specific functions. Throughout history, technological innovations from the wheel to artificial intelligence have fundamentally altered human capabilities, economic systems, and social structures. In alternate history scenarios, divergent technological development paths often serve as critical points of departure, exploring how different invention timelines or technological priorities might have reshaped civilizations and power dynamics.
