Double Alt

Harry Turtledove's "Guns of the South" is now a double alternate history.

The alternate Civil War being the obvious one, but I just realized that AWB traveled back in time from 2014.

Even the futuristic time travel portion of the novel is now alternate history.

Personally, I blame the development of the iPhone for this as well as the lack of flying cars.

    Read that in high school. However, I'm sorta dense. What is double Alt?
