Good list of books in this post! I picked up McMafia on your recommendation. I think Robert Saviano's Gomorrah about how the mafia is involved in so many different aspects of Italian life might also fit the bill on the non-fiction side. On the fiction side, Stanislaw Lem's His Master's Voice is not necessarily apocalyptic, but it has a real systems bent to it and an undercurrent of unease. Dispossessed is a great one.
