There's an old (1943) but good, Sci-Fi book about the disappearance of electricity. It's French (Ravage by René Barjavel) but apparently an English translation exists (Ashes, Ashes) [1]. It takes place in 2052, but in a world mostly comparable to ours regarding reliance on electricity. Especially active reliance for some things that do not just become dead or useless, but immediately dangerous. I expect it not to be very well known to US and UK readers, but I think it's worth the read, in France it's usually considered to be among the best and most important Sci-Fi stories.
