Is this book Evolan?
>Begins with death of Europe
>Reincarnation of souls over the course of the Kali Yuga as the world gets less and less trad
>Islam vs. Buddhism

not really evolan, its more just orthodox progressive leftism. the whole idea is that a counterfactual history would have still unfolded in more or less the same way as real history, following an essentially moral arc. its basically whig history.
