I'm reading a book right now (the third in the Wheel of Time series, if you know it. The third in the Wheel of Time series even if you don't know it, actually. And I'm not really reading it right now either, of course. Anyway...) where there are several different worlds, or dimensions might be a better word for it, where all the choices that you could have made at any point are carried out to their full effect. Like, right now, I have the choice to keep blogging, keep writing my paper, write a different paper, take a nap, go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, etc etc. And there would be a world for each of those choices, where I did actually choose those things.

Is this a kind of anti-determinism? Is it related to determinism at all? I thought it was a really interesting concept. In the book, sometimes the characters are able to access these other worlds, and are often shocked by the consequences of their actions, or the sight of what they are capable of choosing. I wonder how that would change the choices we make now, if we had the same ability to see all the consequences of all of our options.
