One book Iād recommend that hasnāt been mentioned in the other answers is Toby Ordās The Precipice. It focuses on existential risk more broadly, rather than just on collapse, but several parts of the book are about civilizational collapse, or are quite useful for thinking about that topic.

Iāve also previously made ācollection of sources that seem very relevant to the topic of civilizational collapse and/āor recoveryā. You (or others) might find that collection helpful. It includes books as well as other types of sources.
I definitely think this is a very important topic, and Iām glad to see EAs interested in it!
Thanks! :)
