Are you sure it wasn't set in Scotland? Charlie Stross wrote a novel a bit like you describe, its in the second person, which is very unusual and definitely rubs some people the wrong way. I think it was Halting State.
Halting State was great. It actually took me a couple of chapters to realize it was all 2nd person. That's the book that got me into Stross.
