B Further Reading
Summary
Recommended "go deeper" resources, mostly links, useful but not required. You don't need to work through them before you can participate. Including a resource here doesn't mean adopting every claim or tactic in it. Citations (sources behind handbook claims) are separate: see C Citations. The list covers our position, technology and society, movements, organizational culture, and measurement; current policy recommendations and campaigns live on the Sapiens First website. Read it when you want background on our strategy, movement-organizing books referenced elsewhere in the handbook, the sources behind our approach to measurement, or videos and short reads on technology, movement strategy, or how organizations distribute authority. Start with the question you're trying to answer.
- B.1 Existential risk and AI futures

Understand our position
Carried from the legacy reading list; these point to the Sapiens First website rather than to outside reading, and the outline has no B section for them.
- Sapiens First policy: current policy recommendations.
- Sapiens First campaigns: campaigns people can get involved in.
- Atlas: how current work relates to the mission.
Explore with an LLM
You don't need to read everything first. Give an LLM the title, link, or text and ask the questions in the learning prompts, and treat the LLM as a sparring partner, not just a summarizer. The prompts are maintained at A.3.2 Learning prompts.
These resources offer perspectives to discuss and evaluate. Including a resource doesn't mean adopting every claim or tactic in it.
