Has any books dealt with what I think is much more likely scenario --
immortality sneaking up on us without anyone truly grasping the
implications until it effectively occurred?

I suppose Silverberg's "Going" (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?
58611) qualifies. A somewhat disturbing novella, which is to say about
par for the course for an early 1970s Silverberg work :)
