Your survivors and their descendants for many generations will be too busy surviving to maintain even bronze age tech. By the time they get their act together, only skilled geologists and archaeologists will be able to find proof of the "old world order", much less derive knowledge from it. 2 million is VERY near to total extinction. | |

There are people who download it and print it out, other people who keep copies on laptops inside faraday cages, and so on. We'll (probably) be just fine in the long term. | |
