  1. NBC's "Revolution" Starts September 2012

    What do you think about NBC's postapocalyptic "Revolution"? It takes place fifteen years after the end of the Age of Electricity. But don't worry - firearms still function! I wonder what caused the loss of electricity? Unlike William R. Forstchen's "One Second After", this catastrophe doesn't...

  2. WI Monotheism Never Became Widespread?

    What if most of the world's population were polytheists, and monotheists were a minority? How might human history have been different?

  3. Rev.Jim Jones as Fuhrer of Guyana

    I had a strange thought last night: what if the nuclear war Jones predicted had actually come to pass before his cult's mass murder/suicide in November 1978? He would have seemed a prophet to his followers, and maybe even to many Guyanese. And with his supply of drugs cut off, he might have even...

  6. WI Marine Dinos Never Became Extinct?

    What if the fearsome mosasaurs, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs (Nessies) of prehistoric times had survived, and still inhabited the world's oceans, making sea travel impossible (these Mesozoic monsters were technically not dinosaurs, although they share some traits). How much sooner might manned...

  7. AH Challenge:USSR Wins a Cold War Turned Hot

    How could the Soviets have won the Cold War by direct warfare? And by this I don't mean the US withdraws from world affairs, and the Soviets become the sole superpower. I mean a total victory, with the US occupied and a Communist puppet regime set up to govern. Notwithstanding the several silly...

  8. Your Favorite Turtledove AH Character?

    Which of Harry Turtledove's many colorful characters is your favorite? Which do you find the most fascinating? I really like Anne Colleton, the trouser-wearing, guerrilla-killing, Wall Street Journal-reading, submariner-romancing, Model T riding Confederate belle. What a woman. It's a mercy...
