The sci-fi philosophical trilogy "Red Mars," "Green Mars," "Blue Mars" is, among other things, an interesting look at an Earth ruled by corporations as envisaged by an obviously left-leaning author . . . essentially envisioning the same world Vulcan might believe is before us. About 2000 pages of reading though. Great fun though.
I read this, and remember the tortuous description of how the Martian 'gift' economy worked. Truly bizarre, but yes, a mostly good read.
