Another libertarian "utopia" by a Scot Trot, The Stone
Canal by Ken MacLeod. His communist fantasy is The
Cassini Division. I find this less interesting. His
revolutionary novel, The Star Fraction, is quite
interesting. Then there is The Sky Road, an uneven but
inreresting exploration of a non-u-(or dis-)topian
postrevolutionary society.
