      Just finished "The Stone Canal" by Ken MacCleod (fellow Clan MacCleod
  brother), a SF story about colonization of a Mars-like planet. It has
  numerous flashbacks to 20th and 21st Century UK which include anarchist
  struggle and organization.
      The future scenario, however, is anarcho-capitalist, with everything,
  including the judicial system, on the open market. The major ideological
  struggle depicted is between anarcho-capitalism and socialist anarchism.
