Apparently there is a forthcoming follow-up novel:

Building on the beautiful artwork and central thesis of The Book, the companion novel The Last Book is billed as the personal diary of Noah Kaplan, “the last surviving earthling” – including his life before an explosion destroys the earth, life on board an alien spaceship, and his relationship with the aliens who saved him. As with the parent novel, the art is stunning, and it covers a range of themes including art, music, cinema, history, mythology, nature and spirituality.

Note that this book was originally titled Anthem to Humankind when it was originally released via Kickstarter
