Nozick's Libertarian Project gives a good overview of many of the
arguments in ASU.
*Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews*
Friedman’s book is a serious attempt to defend and develop Nozick’s
work. It is ambitious, well-informed, packed full of arguments, and
attacks problems from different angles and with varied solutions.
His solutions and his arguments are not always successful,
especially where they depend upon appeal to contested intuitions,
but when they fail, they are usually instructive. The book is
clearly written and remarkably compact. It is an enjoyable and
enlightening read.
