I prefer reading timelines which show the better side of human nature and in which, on balance, the world is a better place than it actually is. Such as with shorter and/or fewer wars, and shorter lasting and/or fewer dictatorships. As regards Protect and Survive type timelines, though they are very well written and have a morbid fascination, I find them depressing. I would like to read a timeline in which a nuclear war is averted at the 59th minute of the 11th hour.
