The Politicaly Incorrect way to reboot

Have decent nuclear power plants availible that can survive the crash. That will VASTLY jumpstart the rebuild of technological civilization and could very well help PREVENT a crash due to fossil fuel global climate change.

The Historic European "Dark Ages"....
