Elseworlds
Completely fascinating piece in the Boston Globe on Native American technology. I would love for someone to do some serious research and write speculative fiction on what might have been. It's easy from this vantage point to assume that the technology that developed out of European society was somehow inevitable; "Living in the bubble of our own computers and automobiles, we tend to think of technology in terms of electricity, plastic and metal, motors and wheels." But it wasn't, and a good writer could do really interesting things with that insight.
