There are basically 5 stages that worlds go through as they develop (read more here: www.bang2write.com/2013/05/top-5-tips-for-writing-science-fiction-by-robert-grant.html) and some the best sci-fi takes place in the period of transition from one stage to the next. By choosing to set your story between two world stages you get to watch both society and individuals struggle with change, you can bend the rules because they are not fully established and you can compare and contrast what was and what will be. If you can't decide when to set your story then it sounds to me like you should choose a transitional period and write from there.
