A similar premise underlies the amazing "Book of Dave" by Will Self. The book has two parallel time streams, one involving a London taxi driver in the present day and then one in the far future in which some writings of his have become the basis for a Taliban-like extremist religious society.
It's an incredible book in particular if you know London and have been in a black cab and heard the sorts of banter London taxi drivers use, because in the "future" section everyone speaks in a corrupt English dialect based on this. You can also spot various London landmarks in the post-apocalyptic setting (eg the Centerpoint building).
