On that subject, I recommend to read Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. It is not exactly a Kessler syndrome, but for some reason, one day a kind of dome/membrane encloses the Earth blocking communication with every satellite. (Physical objects can still go through as far as I recall, but since you can't communicate with them, it is not that interesting) This is good sci-fi book who won the Hugo award about the societal impact (with somewhat weaker sequel, but still enjoyable in their own way)
