David Lewis.
Was a prominent analytic philosopher. One of his most influential ideas revolved around the concept of possible worlds.
Lewis believed there is an infinite number of possible worlds, each different from our own to different degrees. An important feature of these possible worlds is that we can compare them based on their relative distance from our real world.
This feature was the basis for many of Lewis's theories - for example, Lewis believed that event A is a cause of event B if and only if, in the closest possible world where A didn't occur, B didn't occur either.
