That sounds almost exactly like Alas, Babylon but with an EMP instead of direct nuclear strikes.

'Alas, Babylon' was an amazing read as a teenager. Really opened up my eyes to the fact that war was actually a scary thing because it has the stark realism without the shock and horror that allows you to compartmentalize it. You start to realize that we do take a whole lot for granted in terms of simple needs.
