Not that many people will die from the actual bombs themselves, more people would die from the after effects and I'm not even talking fallout or radiation, they'd die of starvation. In hindsight as people lay there dying they probably wished it was a quicker death. The governments of the world, the economic system, it'll all go to shit. But, someone will survive.
Someone would survive in the end, would they rebuild? Unlikely. Human civilization would have peaked, our dreams of spreading among the stars is gone. Our depletion of natural resources that was supposed to be our stepping stone to a better tomorrow are gone. The planet might recover, in the span of billions of years it took to get here life will continue here with or without us until another few billion years when our star dies and takes us with it.
Maybe as civilization goes to shit as well as our collective knowledge will regress to nothing more than smarter monkeys, looking at the remnants of an ancient civilization like it was built by Gods, or ancient aliens, or fucking Atlantians.
