Just echoing Ursula K Le Guin's The Dispossessed is an fantastic read. It does a great job of contrasting anarchism with hierarchical societies without really playing favorites.
Her entire body of work is just fantastic, honestly my favorite author. I just finished The Lathe of Heaven the other day and really appreciate her sociological approach to sci-fi.
She was also Alfred Kroeber's daughter, who, if you don't know, was one of the principal reasons why UC Berkeley has one of the world's premiere anthropology departments. In light of that, the environment in which she was raised, her body of work makes a lot of sense.
