Ugh. 1984 and Animal Farm were terrible. Seriously, Orwell can't write endings worth shit. They're much too organized to really mirror Wikipedia, to boot. Having two Parties wouldn't work in 1984, much less the many factions on WP.
I assume that with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you're talking about the Guide itself, right? It's fun and a great read, but trying to get anything truly meaningful out of the book would be sorta' like squeezing an orange for lemonade. I suppose there's always the off chance it'd work, but...
Haven't read the other two, unfortunately. A good extrapolation might be something more along the lines of Neuromancer, though that was written before wiki "was a word".
Only
Lord of the Flies comes close. Maybe also beat poet and Rolling Stone journalist Ed Sanders'
The Family. Not for Manson's violent menace but for getting people to abandon values and core beliefs. In a way sending followers out armed with knifes while convincing them you are both Jesus and Satan and singing to them "there is no death" is much like a Randoid getting others to work for free and stealing the work of others. Or convincing each other that pedophilia and bestiality are ok if done by the enlightened.
oo-ee-oo.
