Drawn from an abandoned cache of recordings in an annex at the Institute of Multiverse Studies, A Catalogue of Divergence follows conversations from worlds very much like our own. Do not be alarmed - some of what you will hear does not exist in the history of our universe, though it may yet come to pass. This is a tour of things that exist in other words and now, at least for a little while, in this one too.
