My sense of the sixties is not that it ended early, but started late; i.e., the "sixties" is from say 1965 to (say) 1972. The early sixties were still under the influence of Kennedy, not drugs.
i ask again--the new book states end of the 60s--some would mark 1966
as the end of the 60s, some 1968

in any case, if Doc's girlfriend Shasta is wearing a faded Country Joe
and the Fish T-shirt could one guess that the book takes place in the
early 1970s?
Country Joe gained popularity at Woodstock, no? for that anti-war tune
If I would guess on one character that will reappear in the new book
it would be Flash, Frenesi's on the run, off the grid partner
