I know this because both books are in the future. Catching Fire is in the future because on page 91 it says “It's a funny choice, a mockingjay,” I said “I mean what happened in the rebellion, with the jabberjays backfiring on the capital and all.” This shows that there is a rebellion going on and a species called Jabberjays exists, also that there is a capital. There wasn’t and isn’t a species called Jabberjays, also there isn’t any major rebellions going on. Although there is a capitol building, There is no rebellion up against them and they don’t hold all power, so therefore it is in the future. Similarly, Mockingjay is in the future also, the author wrote on page three “ Almost nothing remains of district 12. About a month ago the Capitol's firebombs obliterated the poor coal miner’s houses in the Seam, the shops in town and even the justice building. The only area that escaped incineration was the Victors village.” she also writes on page three “A squad of peacekeepers checking for returning refugees.” This quote shows this book take place in the future because there isn’t and wasn’t a district 12. In America, there isn’t a Capital that is completely in control and that bombs people's homes, Also there isn’t a Victor's Village for Hunger games victors and we don’t have peacekeepers who scout out everything. In conclusion, Mockingjay and Catching Fire have a similar genre.
