[edit] Alternate History?

How can a novel about a future event be alternate history? Unless the book relies on past events having occurred differently (there is no mention of this in the article) the book is as much "alternate history" as any fictional account of future events that has been published in the past where the supposed date of the fictional event has passed in reality (e.g. Orwell's 1984 would be alternate history, which doesn't really make any sense at all). --62.143.101.71 (talk) 09:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and am removing the suggestion from the article. Robina Fox (talk) 11:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
