If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

With a NC license, the author still can sell the work and make money. It’s just that other people can’t.
Yes. And other people should be able to use other people’s work to make derivative works to feed themselves
I think that’s best left up to the author. Sometimes someone might prefer that their art stay independent of capitalism. I think that is a respectable position.
You’re not a capitalist because you need to buy food
But selling other peoples’ labor would introduce it to the capitalist system. Not saying that makes you a capitalist. Just saying some people might want to keep their art out of that system.
