For instance, if I want to write a book about how to make a RPG in Unity, do I have to get permission from the Unity owners to do so? Or can I write what I want and get it published?
Who do I have to contact to write a book about software?
I don't believe you need to get permission form them, as I've looked at a couple of books on Unity, and none of them mentioned anything about legal information regarding Unity IP. I would contact them to be sure though.
You can write the book yourself without special permissions. If you want to publish through a publisher you need to pitch it and get it accepted and go through lots of hoops.
If you are going to use screen shots and images from their software in your book, you will need to discuss with your (or your publisher's) lawyer about permissions and proper attributions. This applies to every other program and library, any images of any software, you need to make sure every image is legally cleared and properly cited.
