They illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us.

• I've got a solid grounding in history, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, etc etc. That means I actually have a good idea about how societies change and evolve.

So many fantasy worlds are either implausible, cookie-cutter, or both. Mine aren't.
