What is this?

Welcome to A New American Century! This timeline has a point of divergence from real history in 1987 when bin Laden is killed, but doesn't truly start to leave an impact on this new world until 2001. I'll give you one guess what that means.

The 9/11 attacks are butterflied?

You got it! It's a question many people have, and I've been developing my own ideas for how I would go about writing such a drastic change for the past couple of months now. May as well take a crack at it.

This won't just be a problem-free utopia, will it?

I feel like that would be too cliche of an option. Terrorism won't disappear completely even without 9/11, and there will be challenges the world faces in the new century. It also won't be a hellish dystopia, but there are still darker days ahead as there would be in any realistic timeline.

Will there be pop culture? Can I make suggestions for timeline events related to that or political events?

Sure there will, and of course you can. I appreciate any feedback and recommendations I can get. I'd actually prefer that you did in pop culture's case, although I have my own plans for that as well.

Let's get going then.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
