See me talk about SF/F, writing, comics, TV, and Supernatural at Con-Tinual (the Con that Never Ends) on Facebook and Youtube.

In 1956, the US Congress voted down President Eisenhower’s proposed Federal Highway Act, ending plans for a gigantic system of interstate freeways. Instead, Congress passed measures heavily subsidizing the expansion of public transit, both within and between cities.

Thus, the OPEC oil embargo of 1973-74 had little impact in the United States, although it did embolden Congress to outlaw private vehicles weighing more than 2000 pounds. In response, many more citizens quit their cars in favor of public transit or bicycling.

Over the next few decades, this positive trend continued as almost all countries around the world followed the lead of the US, so that when 2025 rolled around......

Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide was holding steady at ~365 ppm, and global temperatures had flatlined at 0.5°C above the pre-industrial average. 🤗

#ScribesandMakers Day 28: Shameless self-promotion!

An #AlternateHistory that diverged in the 1960s? Yawn. Diverged in the 1860s? Whatevs. Diverged in an alternate Roman Empire? Cute.

Lets tackle one that split back in the Early Bronze Age. History, culture, language, religion, technology, agriculture...

Oh, and it's thoroughly matriarchal for all of that 5,700 years. What does anthropology, sociology, archaeology etc.say?

A man wearing a lab coat and a lanyard stands centered in the image. The background is split irregularly down the middle by a lightning bolt; the man straddles the divide. On the right, a nuclear plant by the ocean, with a barbed-wire-topped wall. Sun and scattered clouds all the way to the horizon. On the left, clouds and rain. Strange buildings by the ocean, brightly colored. A man and a woman stand in front of them, wearing odd clothing, also brightly colored. The tagline reads, "One survivor of our timeline. And it's the wrong guy."
