There's elements of what you're describing in various post-war sci-fi works. The Man In The High Castle is an obvious one (what if Germany and Japan won WW2?) but a more subtle take -- and like High Castle, also from Philip K. Dick -- would be A Scanner Darkly, especially the movie. The world of ASD is very much like ours (the movie describes it as "seven years from now") but with an increased surveillance apparatus as the government desperately tries to find the source of a destructive new drug called Substance D. Very little focus is placed on this surveillance state; it's more about identity, and the protagonist's dual role as stoner and undercover policeman. If there was ever a stronger indictment of both drug culture and the war on drugs at the same time, I've yet to see it.
