In case I missed it, what year (approx) was the game set in? I'm telling people about this game and I tell them about 300 years from now, but I really don't know.

Does anyone?

As they say in the rulebook, firstpage : "It is the Future...".

Anyway, I would not put that far, but hey, I don't know/think it was ever mentionned anywhere that there was a precise Year for that game. Just let your players imagine
