In some ways a disaster recovery plan can follow a better path than the original bootstrap. Imagine industrial society. On page two of the disaster recovery plan you have a description of germ theory. Something that has saved hundreds of millions of lives and would have saved hundreds of millions more had it been discovered / formalized thousands of years previously. People knew about sanitation in prehistory but the theory wasn’t formalized so doctors didn’t always wash their hands. Likewise knowledge around nitrogen fixation and fertilizers. There are probably a half a dozen huge improvements that could be made for bootstrap_society_v2.sh Perhaps we should all write down our version and tuck it away somewhere safe just in case. Maybe on something more durable than paper. And certainly more durable than electronic storage.
