One of the reasons why I enjoy science fiction so much is how often authors in this genre set their tales in alternate universes, alternate timelines, or in versions of the past or future that are likewise different from our own in important ways.
Here are ten books with these sorts of settings.
1. Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
2. My Real Children by Jo Walton
3. To Say Nothing of the Dog (Oxford Time Travel, #2) by Connie Willis
4. Before the Coffee Gets Cold (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, #1) by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
5 .11/22/63 by Stephen King
6. The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
7. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
8. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court by Mark Twain
9. The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
10. The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
