I'd definitely recommend Strauss's Accelerando as a more realistic than most exploration of some of these ideas, though not a very Marxist exploration. It's available for free online.

And if you haven't read it already, Stephenson's The Diamond Age is a very explicit exploration of artificial class divisions in a post-scarcity society.

Is Diamond Age really post-scarcity?
