It is a good question of how much breadcrumbs you would need to jump from the stone age to using whatever accessible resources are left after us.

A lack of accessible fossil fuels is likely to be the major factor as it would be really difficult to get an industrial revolution going without access to the easy energy provided by fossil fuels. We could easily find a rebooted society gets stuck in a pre-industrial state with no way of breaking out.
