I'm reading Red Plenty with a book club of mostly libs, and my job is to keep my temper down and also know more than everyone else about central planning.

I don't have time to read a book on it, ideally like a good article or something.

Late to the party, and this isn't about Cybersyn, but if you want something to read about Soviet planning you may find this worth reading

Also for Cybersyn, you can look for Raul Espejo (mentioned in the comments) and Stafford Beer. Both worked on Cybersyn. You can read about the Viable System Model, which is Beer's theory on what makes a system, well, viable
