I wouldn't call "Ministry for the Future" post-apocalyptic, per se, because it feels like stuff that's starting to happen now.(And as bad as things are, we're not quite at apocalypse defcon whatever.) Certainly the negative climate impacts, and also some of the ideas that are being seriously discussed to ameliorate the worst consequences. There's some fascinating science around this.

Anyway, maybe pre-apocalyptic, with a hopeful slant? However it's categorized, it's great storytelling and characters -- and available as an audiobook, too.
