Your post reminded me of science fiction story, or a TV episode, maybe the Twilight Zone.
In it, the main character isolates himself in a personal shelter, believing there is going to be an all out war. A little skirmish does breaks out, the results of which he can see through a periscope.
Fast forward decades, the hero can still see through the periscope that the destruction is still there.
He never comes out of the shelter, not knowing that it and the area has been preserved as a museum by a society that did survive and flourish.
You would be surprised how self sufficient city folk are and how that gets multiplied and what gets accomplished by social activity.
