Stirling's "The Change" series, which encompasses both the Nantucket trilogy and Emberverse arch also makes for interesting reading. It kinda-is-kinda-isn't apocalyptic in that it theorizes Nantucket being transported back in time to the bronze age (Nantucket) and a slightly more traditional "all electronics/technology dies" (even steam power) arch for the rest of the world (Emberverse). <em>Island in the Sea of Time</em> kicks off the Nantucket arch. <em>Dies the Fire</em> starts the Emberverse arch.
