I never read the books, but I have a question I'd like answered that the show has not yet answered.

What is the deal with fantasy's usual inhabitants, elves and trolls and etc, residing in a post human world?  Is it just something the writer decided to do that was different than typical fantasy portraying its inhabitants as having existed prehuman existence?
I read those ages and ages and ages ago.

I thought it was a neat twist when it was revealed that it was our world but thousands of years from now. I suppose the writer thought so, too!
