It’s set in about 1995...
1991/1992, actually (Harry Potter was born July 1980, and the story takes place the school year after his 11th birthday.)
This is also why HPMOR! Harry is worried about grey goo and wants to work in nanotech, is only vaguely interested in AI; I think those were Eliezer’s beliefs in about 1995 (he would be 16)
