Jag,

I don't think you'd be too into Smith, he wears his ideology on his sleeve. In Probabilty Broach he does quite a bit along the lines of an armed society being a polite society. Alternate universe same world divergent history, you know the drill. If you want a recommendo I'd try Ken MacLeod -Star Fraction etc... He's an ex-Trotyskyite, anarcho-capitalist with advanced degrees in biology and maybe computer science? Really intriguing writer. Throw in a little Vernor Vinge for a full blown libertarian/anarcho-capitalist festival.
