IMO we will see the biggest change in how books are written after copyright abolition. We sort of kind of do already, with the big titles like Harry Potter, Star Wars (I know, it started out as a movie) etc. We have the canonical, original books, but we also have a lot of fan-made titles. Some of them create a specific narrative based on the original work, i.e. Harry Potter and the Medhods of Rationality[1], and then people create other fanfiction based on that. 99% of it is fourteen-year-old girls with no writing skills, but there are nuggets that could make great money if not for copyright. I think living, breathing universes made by fans, possibly coupled with chapters released as they're being written, fan voting etc. is the future. Even post copyright, it could make authors money, think crowdfunding or "Character x will either murder y or have sex with y, depending on what option gets more money".
