Some forward-thinking individuals spent a whole lot of money making these 16' tall granite pillars with "instructions" on how to rebuild society after some kind of apocalypse. I think the instructions are well meaning and I agree with many of them, but they're really more like the 10 Commandments than real instructions. What I want to see is a 16' tall granite pillar covered with the basic principles of electronics or chemistry.American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse from Wired.

it's technically for use after travelling back in time, but it's applicable to the post-apocalypse too. some useful info on chemistry and engineering.
