Pick a landscape:
Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Congratulations! You're a tough, resourceful lone wolf and about as hardcore as they come. Try your best to stay "one of the good guys" in this harrowing, cannibalistic wilderness!
The Walking Dead Universe
The Walking Dead Universe
You're cool, calm, collected, and you play well with others. You'll probably last long enough to make a few friends (hopefully someone like Daryl) and eliminate a bunch of zombies - just avoid large compounds, other crazy humans, and developing a desire to ingest brains.
The Metaverse from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash
The Metaverse from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash
Okay, you'd have difficulty detaching from the technological ease of everyday life - so your perfect dystopia has to be the Metaverse, Neal Stephenson's conception of a virtual-reality based internet (made famous in his novel Snow Crash). Make yourself a badass avatar and try to put your technological acumen to some good, self-serving use! (You might also consider investing in an Oculus Rift for pre-dystopia practicing.)
Panem from The Hunger Games
Panem from The Hunger Games
You're resourceful, rebellious, and you can handle yourself - perfect qualities for war-torn Panem. You can meet up with Katniss and help her stick it to the man, and hopefully help rebuild a world that doesn't suck so much. Suggestion: keep some of that Capitol glitter around.
Harlan Ellison's A Boy and His Dog
Harlan Ellison's A Boy and His Dog
The post-apocalyptic universe of A Boy and His Dog, the classic by Harlan Ellison, is probably where you'd do the best. It's the archetypal, mutant-infested, vault-filled wasteland that would seem familiar to any fan of the Fallout game series. Your resourcefulness, toughness, and don't-give-a-crap attitude would help you make it in this barren landscape.
Waterworld
Waterworld
Are you actively rooting for the polar icecaps to melt? Do you have webbed toes, and affinity for fishnet stockings, or a pirate eye patch? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you should probably check out Waterworld, your ideal post-apocalypse wasteland. Grab your boat, your fishing pole, and your harpoon, and just wait around for global climate change to kick in.
