Earth (Snapshot)

The setting of the novella Snapshot is an alternate Earth in 2018. The story focuses on a single day spent inside a Snapshot, a perfect recreation of another, earlier day, where Anthony Davis and Chaz attempt to track a serial killer.[1] Besides having the snapshot device, the Earth in Snapshot differs from real Earth in a few ways. Self-driving cars appear to be popular; about half of all cars in New Clipperton are self-driving and some places, including Mexico City, have already outlawed manually-driven cars.[2][3] Otherwise, it appears to resemble real-world Earth in 2018.
