 I became a libertarian by reading the Science Fiction Trilogy Illuminatus by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea when I was in, I think, eighth grade. It imbued me with this sort of very humanist sense of just the terror and evil of a system that used violence to order people around, and it was intellectual on a few different levels. It certainly wasn't like a lesson in Austrian economics or anything like that, but it introduced me to that world, and it was through reading that book that I did, I think when I was in ninth grade, end up reading Henry Hasselt's Economics in One Lesson, which hooked me into the economic end of libertarian argument, which leads you down that wonderful Mises Rothbard rabbit hole, and here I am.
