World 1950-1960 (Chaos)

 and technology are farther progressed than IOTL: Computers are already at the level of OTL 1990, and there is software for computer networks (just over copper wires yet) and databases. (Office software is just developing, however, PCs are rare and/or restricted, and there are few games, except those made by hobbyists.) Cryptography is on a very high level and strictly enforced. Flight and rocket technology also is farther progressed ( started with jet engines and rockets; during the war, supersonic flight was developed), as is television (well, partly. Pictures are better, but TVs at home are rare), linguistics and many branches of chemistry.
