The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson 2

It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur - the coming of the Black Death.

History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed.

But what if?

What if the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead?

How would the world have changed?

This is a look at the history that could have been: a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.

These are the years of rice and salt.

The novel posits a world where the Black Death's devastation of Europe allows other civilizations, particularly those of the Middle East, India, and China, to flourish and reshape global history....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................You bring the crypto.
