- A book painting such a picture is "Black Out" by Marc Elsberg ([1], [2]). I can wholeheartedly recommend it, as it points a pretty scary, yet plausible scenario and is a proper thriller as well.
Its plot takes mainly place in Germany, so it's written with a Europe-centric view and I'm not sure how well that translates to the US. However when looking at the brittle electric grid in parts of the US, I believe such attacks could be even worse there.

- The novel "Black Out" by Marc Elsberg covers this topic as well.
Writing solid, characters slightly on the meh side, scientific research pretty ok (from an amateurs perspective, that is).
