A journey through 55 alternative realities, parallel worlds and
possible futures.
A journey through 55 alternative realities, parallel worlds and
possible futures.It's lucky you're here. But for a series of incredible
coincidences and roads not taken, your life could be very
different. The same goes for reality. We live in just one of many
possible worlds. In others, dinosaurs still rule the Earth, the
Russians got to the Moon first, time flows backwards and everyone
is vegetarian.

different? If we really did live in a multiverse? If robots became
smarter than us? If humans were wiped off the face of the
