I'll second The Dispossessed Archived Message

A tale of two societies - one that split off from the other to isolate itself and organise on anarchist principles. The story takes place 100 years later and examines the differences from the point of view of a character from the anarchist society. I've read non-fiction books on anarchy, but this story really gave me a sense of how a community run on those principles might actually work.
