Here is a book that many here might like to check out:
http://michaelcross.net/ -- described here.
Review here: http://www.finest.se/userBlog/entry.php?uid=40517&beid=2740576
The basic plot is about a young woman who has an interest in politics but is nevertheless a somewhat sheltered, Portland, Oregon psychologist. I should mention she is a vigilante serial killer as well, at least she was earlier in life. Her awakening to the world at large comes when she is kidnapped by a killer who is also an anarchistic man who has turned his hatred to mankind and God. He has no clue he has taken a killer as his apprentice but he goes on to torture and brainwash her into submission. He is not a typical survivalist -- he anxiously awaits society to collapse so he can come in and take control.
What might interest libertarians is that the book, while a psychological thriller, examines issues like freedom, society, the concept of control and how far we can take our choices in regards to marriage, family and revenge.
While it is the third in a series it does stand on its own and might be a fun way to explore even the most taboo of issues. Give it a try if you like -- and remember what Alan Watt has said that fiction is often the best way to speak to someone in regards to any issue. Maybe it is a good read that, once you finish with it, to share with a conformist who just goes along with what the prevailing society says they should.
