I couldn't! I got my hands on a pristine copy from the university bookshop ( I still have it, though it's now well-thumbed!) and I spent a week reading it, taking notes and desperately trying to think of counter-arguments. So I wanted to hate it, rubbish it, show it up as the propaganda of the 'running dogs of capitalism'! I was a committed socialist with anarchist leanings (a huge dichotomy there which I didn't see at the time!) and deeply in thrall to Marx, Marxism, Marxists and Marxians. I came to the book with preconceptions - Nozick was neo-liberal and Hayekian. It is really only know, at the age of 44, that I realise quite how much Bob Nozick's master-work has shaped my thinking on the state, politics and society over the past 22 years. This book had a huge impact on me when I read it at the age of 22 as a post-grad student of political philosophy.
