Iain Banks with his Culture novels - I love the saying from this series "Money is a sign of poverty" - the sooner we reach this state the better.

First that I can think of, Neal Stephenson's early works pretty much nail a lot of things:

- Snowcrash: VR + social network.

- Diamond's Age: 3D printing, nano technology, communities, future cults.

- Cryptonomicon: not exactly bitcoin, but somewhat related.
