For fiction I recommend LeGuin's Dispossessed, it's easily the clearest sci-fi argument for anarchism and yet isn't utopian in the slightest.
That or Kobayashi's Crab Cannery Ship for a starkly unromantic view of oppressed crab fishermen and their proletarian uprising.
For non-fiction, read Desert, it is a good reminder that climate collapse will continue given our current capitalist system, but humans can still survive in nomadic non-state communities because they already are (and the climate is already collapsing)
sorry you didn't like Hitchhiker's, I think it's style of cheeky british humor has been ruined by reddit and other things influenced by it (modern Doctor Who comes to mind)

Right, it's not saying that anarchy is best system, I just meant that it the book lays out how anarchism works with a believable set of examples and ties in to the story better than any other book I've read.
