I hope with the conclusion of this series it might encourage to take a look back at classics of science fiction as a peculiar sort of alternate history, the few works I've cited in these articles are just that - a few. There's literally hundreds out there across all mediums that now blur the line between what was the future and a past that never came to be.

Paleofuture is a great resource for AH because it reveals so much about the assumptions and predictions of past generations, particularly when different conclusions are reached by different writers looking to the future.

The BBC have begun a series of articles on works of science fiction that predicted the future, the first work covered is Stand on Zanzibar. Its predictions previously discussed in one of the Days of Future Past articles.
