If I could have lunch with the author, and ask him any question, I would ask him about the setting. I would want to know where he got the idea from, whether he got it from a movie, or whether he got it from society, seeing what we are capable of doing to the world. I would also ask him what happened in the story, that the world ended up like that. When there is something concerning post apocalyptic, people almost always assume a nuclear war started it. However, it could be different. I would want to know whether it was mankinds fault what happened to the world, or if it was simply something natural that caused the world to be the way it is in the story.
If I knew what had caused the setting of the book, it would better my understanding of what each individual character went through, and what they had to see. It would help me understand their losses, and what they had to give up in order to survive. I think it would just make me enjoy the book more.
