It's actually not that far in the future... 2050-ish, I think. "To Say Nothing of the Dog" has actual dates... basically, time travel is developed in 2018, and Kivrin's part of the second generation of time travellers.

Willis' next novel, (the one she's been writing for THREE YEARS and still hasn't finished) involves some of the same time traveling characters (mostly Mr. Dunworthy) and the Blitz.

2050, yeah. Which is why it confused me...the world isn't different enough for it to be noticeable a lot of the time, but then they've got those video phones and such.

Did she write "To Say Nothing of the Dog" before Doomsday?

I'll have to put in a request for that one. It isn't at this library, but it is at one of the other colleges.
