In a "humanity collapse" scenario, for surviving humans it would be much much much more valuable to have 'reboot instructions' for hunter-gatherer to industrial society, than beyond.
Of course you'd want to do both (early steps, and advanced knowledge).
And there will be various kinds of low-hanging fruit, to propel newly-industrialized society into the space faring internet age. Skipping resource-wasting, fossil burning stages entirely.
As for culture (novels, music, games, software, movies, etc): who cares, whatever makes it through the bottleneck in whatever way, shape or form.
