2053 AD

A chilly November evening

In the middle of a densely populated city

All of the above

Writing no longer exists as a profession and is therefore irrelevant

Writing involves creativity and individuality, traits clearly not welcomed in this society

Mr. Mead can potentially reveal the secrets of the society in which he lives

The entire city is old and falling apart

No one uses the sidewalks much and they are therefore untended

There was a recent earthquake that damaged much of the walkways

He appears to be creative and personable whereas his surroundings are dull and lifeless

His house is lit up whereas the surrounding houses are described as "tomb-like" buildings

His lungs "blaze like a Christmas tree inside" whereas the night is cool and frosty

All of the above

He was wearing sneakers

He's a writer

He was outside at night

He tried to run from the police car

None

One

Two

It's not mentioned

Captivated

Excited

Make unintelligent

Controlled

Society's lack of interest in personal interaction

Society's complete dependence on technology and the resulting dangers

Society's laziness
