I am hoping someone can help with the timeline. I'm reading a 1980 version at home. I found a pdf version online to read during my lunch at work, but I am so terribly confused about the timeline of the book now. I did not want to read other threads for fear of spoilers.
In the original, it's set in 1985/1986, right? In my home version, the first section is segmented into June-July 4, 1985 or 1986. Did he change the dates in subsequent versions? I don't have the two versions side by side but this one says the plague happened in 1990. it doesn't make sense that the timeframe is different or would have been updated. Or is this discrepancy something that I just haven't gotten to that's related to the plot?
It seems I'm missing something important, and it's bugging the crud out of me. Keep in mind, I am only 1/6th of the way through.
