Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

You wouldn’t have post scarcity society in anarchism, though. And if that has been achieved before, it would be what they attack first.
There’s different flavors of anarchism just like there’s different flavors of anything. Saying they’d all “attack x first” is very far beyond what any person can reasonably predict. Particularly given how chaotic anarchy can be.

I really should, that is true. I’ll put it on the list. I’ve read most of Doctorow’s older books already.

How do you do that if they take all your 3d printers (the technology which sustains the post-scarcity world in this novel)?

Post-scarcity society still has to be backed by something. In the novel, it’s 3d printers. If you have more 3d printers than others, you can use it to produce weapons to capture even more 3d printers from other people, making them scarce, and thus introducing scarcity again.
