Ah. Obviously you haven't yet read Hogan's _Voyage_From_Yesteryear_, which
is explicitly anarcho-individualist. I also recommend Vernor Vinge's work;
most notably _The_Peace_War_, _Marooned_In_Realtime_, and the bridge novelette
_The_Ungoverned_Lands_ (recently reissued in the excellent _True_Names_And_
Other_Dangers anthology); all three are explicitly anarcho-libertarian.

I also recommend Marc Stiegler's _David's_Sling_, not explicitly libertarian
but very interesting for its suggestions on how information-age decentralist
thinking can beat industrial-age statism (though he never uses the latter
label).
