Anybody know some key texts on a digitally planned economy (possibly related to Paul Cockshott's theories)? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've noticed some users here have mentioned the work of Paul Cockshott and I'm interested in looking into the computational aspects of planning.

I already know a bit about operations research, but couldn't find a good introductory paper about modern economic planning theories, specially since stuff like Google Scholar ranks by citations.

I'm currently reading "Towards a New Socialism" but it doesn't look like it'll delve too deeply into algorithms as far as I've got. Should I drop it and look into "Classical Econophysics" first? Or does anybody know a more technical book that I should look into?

It doesn't seem that way to me. It seems that they're knowledgeable when it comes to the discipline but that's not saying much; a lot of other people are.

True, but they are one of the more oft-cited proponents of digital planning I've seen on Western forums.

True.
