I listend to a talk David D. Freidman gave at Duke on Stateless and Semi-Stateless Societies in Fiction and Semi-Fiction. (Blog post) (Audio)
I was curious about the pieces he mentioned, so I decided to make a list of them.

Here are also some links to other threads on the subject that have been posted in this sub:
Any An-cap friendly novels out there?
A permanent catalog of fiction with AnCap themes (please feel free to contribute)
Any representations of a stateless society that is positive in fiction?
Agorist fiction?
I have provided Amazon links. Most of these pieces can be found online, but I will leave that to the reader.
I really enjoyed the short story collection of Verner Vinge.
Yeah, I don't think he's all that libertarian/AnCap (see his novel "Scratch Monkey") but a couple good sci-fi/singularity writers that are would be Vernor Vinge, (Marooned in Realtime and The Ungoverned being prime examples) and Neal Stephenson (with his Cryptonomicon and The Diamond Age).
Highly recommend both of them.
