Pagans by James Alistair Henry

In this entertaining alt-history debut, we are in a 21st-century Britain where the Norman conquest never happened, split along religious and cultural lines. The Saxons are led by the High King, who rules the greater part of England; Scotland is behind a wall, allied to the Nordic Economic Union; and the indigenous Celts are second-class citizens. In the buildup to a London summit to discuss plans for British unity, a Celtic negotiator is found dead, nailed to a tree in Epping Forest... - Guardian Review

This may be flawed both as a novel and as alternate history, but I have to give it 5, as it was such tremendous fun and so much my kind of thing. Just like the alternative world of For All Mankind, not everything is better, though I believe that Christianity not having conquered these isles would not be the disaster that its adherents would insist.

A fun thought experiment from 2009 that imagines a world where dinosaurs didn't go extinct.

"What would the world look like if these strange and majestic animals had not gone extinct? And, would they ever evolve into intelligent species comparable to humans?"

I wonder what the timelord on the left was doing in the EU parliament two years ago. Could they have had a helping hand in Orban's fall?

Steampunk hat Dampf.

Dieselpunk hat Diesel.

Atompunk hat Atomkraft.

Warum gibt es eigentlich keinen Orgelpunk?

Eine Welt, in der Musik die zentrale Technologie ist, Orgeln Fabriken antreiben, Bahnhöfe wie Kathedralen aussehen und Wissen durch Resonanz gespeichert wird.

Ich fürchte, ich habe gerade aus Versehen ein neues Punk-Genre erfunden. 🎹⚙️

For the evening crowd (well, in Ireland):

Nobody knows how the "Fomorians" first appeared in Ireland in the 1840s. Until a dwarven scientist runs an illegal experiment to find out.

It blows up in his face.

Tell us about your WIP. What is the genre or genres?

I'm finishing my #steampunk #SciFi series of novellas (last seconds on #Kickstarter if you're interested)

Also working on a #AlternativeHistory #AltHistory #FaeVSMachines #LightningPunk Don't really know what to call it, but set in Vienna in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after the empire is taken over by feminist witches. It's a lot of fun.

Die Astronauten von #Artemis sind vom
#Mond sicher zurück auf der Erde und die #AppleTV Serie „For All Mankind“ geht in die fünfte Staffel!

Zeit also sich zu überlegen: Was wäre wenn #MartinHorn sich tatsächlich so engagiert für kostenlose Kitas eingesetzt hätte, wie er sich für sein Insta Auftritt engagiert? Oder überhaupt mehr als nach 5 Jahren einen Brief schreiben, gemacht hätte?

Hier ein kleiner Ausflug in die #AlternativeHistory.

📚 Son of Nobody by: Yann Martel

Harlow Donne has devoted his life to the Classical world. When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it.
