Keep calm and Harry on.
Stephen Baxter plus Terry Pratchett's Long Earth series maybe? The idea is that there's an infinite number of alternate Earths, each just a "step" away from the ones "next to" it. It's very easy for anyone to build a gadget that will let them step. You can step in two directions, arbitrarily labeled east and west. Each step is an Earth where something went a tiny bit differently. The "nearby" ones are almost indistinguishable from ours, but they get weirder and weirder as you get into the hundreds of thousands or millions of steps. Humans only exist on our Earth.

I can't *recommend* it, as I didn't particularly like it and didn't finish, but you might.
