Check out this book What Might Have Been. It plays out a few scenarios of what would happen if, for example, the Spanish were able to conquer England, or if Al Gore won the election. Pretty interesting stuff.
I'll definitely check it out man, thanks for the tip. I've read some Orson Scott Card stuff; he does fantasy alternate history type novels. It's really cool shit; definitely an interesting genre.
