[Question] What EA texts would you recommend reading?

[James Brobin]

I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to become familiar with all of the major ideas related to effective altruism.

These are the texts that I would currently consider to be EA “canon” (I’ve put an * on texts that I have not yet read or completed):

• Effective Altruism

  • Doing Good Betterby William MacAskill

  • “The Introduction to Effective Altruism Handbook”

• Animal Welfare

  • Animal Liberation Now by Peter Singer

• Longtermism

  • The Precipice by Toby Ord

  • What We Owe The Future by William MacAskill

• Career

  • 80,000 Hours by Benjamin Todd

• Rationality

  • The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef

• AGI Safety/​Preparedness

  • “AGI” by 80,000 Hours*

  • “Preparing for the Intelligence Explosion” by William MacAskill*

I’m curious what texts you guys recommend in addition to these texts, or whether you agree with the texts I’ve mentioned?
