There are plenty of books in Italian about autonomia, but I don't 
know much about the English one.
You can check Autonomedia for some Negri essays: http://www.autonomedia.org
This is about the strategical/political part of the movement.
On the other hand there was a huge creative part (Radio Alice and the 
A/Traverso fanzine were among the first efforts).
You can find more about them in the seminal writings of Franco 'Bifo' 
Berardi (theorist of the Telestreet movement). His reference blog is 
Rekombinant http://rekombinant.org.
The autonomous media scene is even more vast with hundreds of 
collectives and products.
The starting point online is ECN (Isole nella Rete): http://www.ecn.org.

Personally, I've tried to document and monitor the peculiar national 
'hacktivist' scene in Neural, in the last ten years 
(http://neural.it).

If you need more specific suggestions, just ask.
