I hope this makes sense, but sometimes I read these stories looking for a sense of who I'm supposed to be as the reader/listener, like what role I'm agreeing to assume as the recipient of this story. Some stories present a need for that, and some don't, but I felt like I wanted that from this story. It would have added some extra drama at the very least to the situation. For instance, did he find a stray pocket of survivors holed up somewhere? Are we reading this after the fact? Is this an ancient document that someone is accessing from a futuristic, post-Earth database? Something like that would have helped me feel more connected to the story.
