Is there any indication in the book as to the year of its setting? I got
the impression that the ST society had taken its form in the aftermath
of WW3, which would give us an idea of how long it had been in existence.

I always thought that the ST society had been in existence for many
centuries, but don't have any textev at my fingertips.
