I'm wondering if just skewing the setting might represent a big-enough difference. Maybe a US that's just something a little off, with Stanley Steamers and Baker Electrics winning the auto wars and Edison inventing the telephone (he came close) while Tesla founded GE and Westinghouse dominated the streetcar business. Or something that's totally fictional but with technology we can recognize, like Wells did with her Ile-Rien series....

Thus do we spin our writerly wheels.
