What time period does the books take place? because sometimes it seems like old times and sometimes it seems modern!

yeah it was nero but it was like a really old, non-internet computer that was all huge and chunky and stupid but i think it was supposed to be like a timeless, non-existent era because

A. like none of the stuff that happened in the books is actually possible

B. the car was really, really old looking. like as in the first cars

C. the way they dress

D. there was a computer


i think he sort of made one up.

I'm thinking it's an alternate reality so there's no specific time period. ;) hehe. It's too quirky to be normal "earth".
