A Goodreads user asked Lauren Oliver:

Hi! When I was reading Delirium, I noticed that compared to most dystopians, it seems similar to modern times. How many years into the future did Delirium take place?

Lauren Oliver I don't know an exact year, but certainly in the near-ish future since technology hasn't advanced very far (with the exception of the cure itself).
