That depends on what you mean by "the internet".
For a long time, I have thought about how you would create a new, physically separate internet, there is nothing stopping you from buying some old switches and routers and starting going full Nokia with them.
There is also nothibg stopping you from setting up new servers dedicated on the new internet.
There has never been as much cheap and decent networking gear on the used market.
But that's just a net without the inter part
No, it is the start of a new parallel internet, Internet 2 - Internet Harder if you will.
What I mean to say is that the internet is too usefull as a concept to just die, so if internet 1 dies, we have all the equipment to set up new internets to fullfill the need for digital communications.
Also, unless the vast majority of computers world get's destroyed or we have no means of generating power, the internet won't just die, it'll change and turn unrecognizable, but it won't just die.
Isn't that what people in Cuba did
Probably, I don't know the situation off hand.
