I would like to nominate "One Second After" by William R. Forstchen
I think this book covers the What Ifs of the time after in non SciFi fashion. It also shows our dependencies on electronics. When i look back now i wonder how we ever got along without cell phones.
A Review:
The explosion of nuclear bombs in space by an unknown adversary emits electromagnetic pulses (EMP) that instantly and permanently disable electronic devices throughout the United States, wreaking havoc. Forstchen's (We Look Like Men of War) well-crafted and compelling story, which focuses on one man's struggle to protect his family in an isolated North Carolina town, reminds us of how helpless we'd be without modern technology—a chilling thought, as EMP is a real threat to the industrialized world.
