Default Re: Catalog of the Weird Parallels

Steellife 1

In this parallel lifeforms are based on elements we'd recognize as inorganic such as iron, copper and silicon. Organics are only used in trace amounts much like we use trace minerals in our bodies.

Despite this massive biological shift, the metal-humans living there have a history identical to OTL for the most part. Organics are used where we invented metallurgy, such as superbone dug up out of the earth.

The most recent inventions in BI, Biological Intelligence threaten to oust workers out of their jobs at the factories with their ability to maintain themselves with just fuel and a lack of need for pay.

Their sci-fi has it's own set of BI cliches, much like OTL has it's own set of AI cliches.

This gets the essential idea of this timeline down.
