Word: uchronia Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from French uchronie, formed after utopie (“utopia”), from Ancient Greek οὐ (ou, “not”) + Ancient Greek χρόνος (khrónos, “time”) + -ia. 1. An idealized or fictional conception of a particular period of time, especially in the past. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Mercier's resort to uchronia, on the other hand, initiates a new paradigm for utopian literature not only by setting action in a specific future chronologically connected to our past and present but even more crucially by characterizing that future as one belonging to progress and thus linked causally if not immediately to the reader's time. Example: This uchronia actually exerted some influence in its time, converting many readers to socialism because they wanted to live in the world of Bellamy's vision. 2. An imaginary setting of a work of fiction derived from assuming that a single particular real-world event had occurred differently than it did, causing history to differ from then on; alternate timeline. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Alternate or alternative histories—uchronias or counterfactuals, to employ yet two other terms—have gone through a boom-and-bust cycle lately, accruing both merits and demerits. […] S.M. Stirling falls into none of these pitfalls. In fact, his new book is simply the best uchronia in years. Example: For Portelli, uchronia comprises 'that amazing scene in which the author imagines what would have happened if a certain historical event had not taken place'.

It fell to the observatory tiles, bleeding black blood and melted porcelain, gurgling softly. 2. An action intended to act as a warning.
