* The South African/Canadian sci-fi series ''[[Charlie Jade]]'' involves [[Alternate Universe|three different universes]] in its storyline. One of them, the "Alphaverse", is dystopian and completely cyberpunk, including [[Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain|lots of rain]]. Its counterpoint is the ecotopian "Gammaverse" ([[Not So Different|unpolluted, but rife with political corruption and social engineering]]). The neutral one is the "Betaverse", which is our own early 21st century world. The whole series takes place in the Cape Town region and very little info about the rest of the world is ever spoken. According to the series' script, both the Alphaverse and Gammaverse are supposedly [[Alternate History|alternate histories]] of the Betaverse, with a divergence occuring shortly after WWII or during the early [[Cold War]] period.
