I wonder if I could tap collective wisdom to answer the query below.

Thanks for the chat, it was very beneficial.
        I was wondering if you knew of any texts doing a comparative between Nietzsche and Marx, partly as i'm trying to understand where 'will' (will-to-power and other will-to-whatever) fits into social processes and labor; in fact, also have Hegel in the back of my mind, and am wondering if the wills (personal, communal, corporate, national, etc) are structured - what the 'dialectic' is, in what sense it is manifest in material processes, and in what way it resides in the personal and 'collective' consciousness or unconscious. Perhaps that requires another discussion at some point, but if any texts cross your mind then i would be grateful for any references.

        One of the main guys working on information science (and retrieval) who takes from Marx is Julian Warner (queen's univ. belfast) - http://www.qub-efrg.com/faculty-directory/26/julian-warner/ - i've got a copy of his book 'human information retrieval', he works on the interface between information science and information theory; you might find him interesting.
