Eclipse Phase doesn't have a precise date, if I understand it, but the date appears to be roughly the same as our own Nanodisaster. If we were to set a game during the Nanodisaster I'm sure that it would be very dark. However the state of uploading tech in EP is actually in advance of the OA equivalent; EP assumes full routine uploading by the time of the main scenario (whenever that is), whereas OA doesn't allow non-destructive uploading and/or resleeving until the First Federation era, at least a thousand years from today.
It seems that our scenario has a slower development curve, but a much longer timespan. This allows OA to reach levels of technology not possible in EP.
