I really liked this collection so have come back to it. Just finished the first story, "cascadia" about a post-fractured and collapsed global capitalism PNW and a community deep in the woods which is some kind of anarcho-communist/green-anarchist cyber punk community.

All the stories in this book look at different anarchist communities in this world but is written by non-anarchists sci-fi authors (as far as I can tell). Great series.
