| Re: Alternate history scenarios: What if? Has anyone read The years of salt and rice? I enjoyed Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars series but so far havent read this. It's a what if story, where the black plaque wipes out 99% of the european population, meaning no renaissance, industrial revolution etc. Asia and the middle eastern influences begin to dominate in exploration and invention. Just curious if anyone has read it and what they thought of it? |
