Takes place- 2045
Some facts about this time and place you need to know-

In The United States, there are many abandoned cities and towns engulfed forest by due to fires, radiation, businesses closing, etc. Woods are often bordered off by electric fences so people may not escape into ruins of previous cities and end up uncharted. Yet many children, drug addicts, or people against the law, escape into these cities, and are written out to be dead, when police give up searching. This however, does not show up often in the book. Immigration is extremely limited, and when it does happen, it is usually only children.
