Explicacions: paradoxosalpha: Pace marycloseburn, there are no supernatural elements in this highly science-fictional alternate history. The metaphysical conceit that frames the story does not make it "fantasy."
marycloseburn : Enjoyable, but alternate history with fantasy elements rather than science fiction.
