   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.
