You know the game where you take real book and movie titles and make up a different story that goes along with it from an ATL world? This game is supposed to be like that, except the story you make up is based in world really close to OTL, with alternate-things occurring from the effects of the book. Thus, most of the alternate books are more pun-like.
I’ll start.
The Plot Against America: John Spivak’s 1967 exposé on the 1933 Business Plot to Overthrow Roosevelt, successfully chronicling the attempt by Dupont and other major conservative corporate groups. The book’s release, coinciding with the Defense Department’s releasing of total casualty figures from the Vietnam War, made it a favorite of both wannabe college revolutionaries and pinko intellectuals alike.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Controversial 2002 pro-Royal Family exposé on Princess Diana’s infidelities.
Jurassic Park: Richard Dawkins’ first classic work on the prehistoric era.
Rainbow Six: 1992 Oscar-nominated film about the Iroquois’ last stand against the land-hungry colonists.
Star Wars: A New Hope: Oliver North’s bald-faced and pseudoscientific 1983 treatise praising the Strategic Defense Initiative. Lambasted by critics and experts alike, he disappeared from public view until his victorious run for senator from Virginia in 1994. Joining fellow Republicans in Congress, he proclaimed to President Clinton, “The Empire Strikes Back.”
