Literature on Remote working

https://sametab.com/blog/future-remote-working/

I've been working remotely for the last 4 years of my life. In my latest company, I just realized how little literature has been written on the topic of remote working. I've been seeing some forms of reports on the status of remote working [0] [1], but I couldn't find any in-depth materials (whether blogs, essays, papers or even books) with some qualitative thinking on remote work and the future of work.
For example: why are things happening in a certain way? What's literature about remote working? What are the best practices (synchronous vs. asynchronous, remote vs distributed)? What are the implications of remote working on organizational structure (eg. functional vs. divisional)? What can and cannot work?
Do you have some specific resources you could recommend me to read on the topic?
This write-up I just published on the blog is the closest example to what I'm looking for: https://sametab.com/blog/future-remote-working/

    Hey Leonardo,

    I hope I can help with this topic with the latest content I'm publishing at nohq.co.
    It's still fresh, but already boasts a lot of well-researched content, including input from many remote companies and founders!
