The last few of Cory Doctorow’s books explore things like gift societies and, maybe not “communism” but more cooperative cultures that can result from ubiquitous interconnectedness. Walkaway is one of them.
David Graeber’s magnum opus “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” goes into a lot of detail about alternative economies that have existed since humans started trading
No, I got it from The Gutenberg Parenthesis by Jeff Jarvis, which compares how society reacted to moveable type to how it was reacting to the Internet. It’s a pretty short but well researched book.
