I've started to think that the plausibility of recovering a lot of the digital data we're creating in the case of a nuclear winter might be really low. Imagine walking a wasteland of abandoned computers in a fallout-style land. The vast majority would be behind passwords and even when it wouldn't, the internet wouldn't be accessible. Raid serverfarms? They'll be torn apart for metal or even if not, behind even stronger encryption than regular computers. Feels like our accumulated knowledge is a lot more fragile than we acknowledge.
