I've already read Plato's Cave. But I thought it was sorely flawed.

You mean you read about it, I think. The Republic (Plato) is Plato's magnum opus, a Socratic dialogue, in which the allegory of the cave is originally brought forward.

You should really read it if you haven't already. It was proven to have been immensely influential in political theory, which might concern you, throughout the two thousand years since it was first written. It's a captivating read, too. Nothing quite like it.

I, myself, am more of a Nietzschean than anything else; Nietzsche had a very deep dislike for Plato's musings, and rightly so. Still, I can appreciate this kind of literary work even if I disagree with its main ideas.
