 There's a genre I'm seeing I'd call post-oil punk. It's post-breakdown,
 post-oil society a hundred or so years in the future. Think of 19th
 century steamboats and trains, local commerce, but with shadows of
 modern technology - raiding parties into the cities, stigma around the
 "old ways" and tech, and frontier living conditions.

 One book, can't remember the name, focused around river trade on the
 Mississipi river. Interesting stuff.

 Here's one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Made_by_Hand
