This book is set after the destruction of our current civilization. Which means that it is set in the future. The sister books, "Gathering Blue" and "The Messenger" proves this.
Based on the evolutionary advancements, such as the ability to breed out color reception and the transmission of memory through skin to skin contact, this book is probably set very far in the future. More telekinitic and telepathic abilities are shown in the sister books, such as the physical manipulation of others (i.e. the ability to age people through thought) and the power to heal living organisms through touch. These would only be possible through thousands upon thousands of years of evolutionary advancement.
It is 2065 in The Giver. You infer this because in Gathering Blue, it's been 2 years
after the Jonas incident. In The Messenger, the setting takes place around 2073, 8 years after the Jonas incident.
It takes place in the unspecified future where there is the technology to block color vision, etc.
