Intro. The World of Fallout follows a timeline that differs from the history of the real world. Until the Great War in 2077, the world of Fallout was dominated by 1950s culture, even with technological advancement. The world setting of Fallout is heavily influenced by the science fiction of Worlds of Tomorrow. Details. Moira was born in 2253. A self-proclaimed inventor, Moira was raised with an uncommon curiosity about the world in the commercial community of Canterbury Commons. Sometime before 2263, he moved to Megaton. She has read almost every book that has come through town. Although his reading has taught him a wide variety of useful knowledge, he has almost no real world experience, so he doesn't always understand how it can be applied outside of his workshop. AFTER AN ACCIDENT he was inspired to write a guide to help others survive in the Wasteland and avoid similar dangers, the book became popular.
