"The Amadeus Net" by Mark Rayner is an amazing end of the world book. I read it not too long ago, and it's quickly become one of my favorites.

Set in the year 2028, shortly after the destruction of half of the world’s population due to an asteroid-Earth collision (known as The Shudder), "The Amadeus Net" tells the story of love and survival in Ipolis, the man-made utopia dedicated to the preservation of art and scientific exploration. While Ipolis itself may appear to be paradise, the world around it is certainly not. Divided still by wealth, the world is put in danger of destruction by the religious fanatics of the poverty-stricken South, who give the North an ultimatum: Distribute wealth and resources fairly, or suffer global annihilation.

Beautifully written and riveting.
