That sounds a bit like "The Prince in Waiting" by John Christopher (more famous for "The Tripods"), it's a trilogy also set in the distant future after a nuclear war, where all machines have been outlawed and humans exist alongside dwarfs and mutants. Over the course of the trilogy, the protagonists (living in fairly alright areas) venture deeper into more and more radiated areas and encounter grotesque stuff.
Oh man, I adore the tripods, so I'll be giving that a read for sure. Cheers for sharing!
