If people survived the nuclear winter and fallout in small pockets it would take hundreds if not thousands of years to rebuild anything like a civilization. It's one thing to have knowledge of certain things, it is entirely another to actually build and use them. A printing press with moveable type (and I assume that is what you mean since the printing press in general is a much older and simpler invention), is no easy thing to build. You really need some form of rudimentary industrialization.

Even going back into a dark age is almost impossible since the printing press made knowledge much more difficult to lose.doconnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565204091335699228noreply@blogger.com
