You might Like S. M. Stirling's Dies the Fire. Basically, in 1998 all electricity and technology stops working, so as good Americans they begin LARPing as ancient civilisations. Seeing the various characters grow, form communities and adapt to their new situation is quite interesting. The juxtaposition of old and new works surprisingly well.
The series continues with the children of the various characters. The children have never known anything else than the new middle ages they now live in, and they cannot understand how such things as skyscrapers and the impossibly large cities were possible. Too bad the pacing is shit.
The first three books are good. I do recommend them.

Also, many of the /dyingearth/ books >>15154470 are more about the earth dying than about the remnants of our world. Hell, a climactic moment in City at World's End is the main character going to intergalactic space court to plead his case.
