I personally became an anarchist without reading a particular book, it was a combination of things that I had read, and Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty certainly cemented the ideas, but Larken's book was well thought out, and up-to-date so that's what I usually recommend people to listen to.

I still think the old-school guys have useful books, but sometimes the things people like Rothbard said, can be off-putting to people, or give them the wrong idea of what we believe.

I'll concede that there are some things where everyone benefits from having one large entity negotiate better conditions for everyone. Like health care. If you go up against the pharma industry as one guy, they screw you over. If you go up against them as a state, they'll have a harder time. The magic word is negotiate, if the state runs things, everyone gets fucked.

And there needs to be a way to opt out and do private health care instead.

I'm also expecting the state to do infrastructure, like laying internet cables or water pipes to where people live, even if it is remote. It's fine to use tax money for that. But once it's done, reduce the taxes again.
