There is a great recent book by Adam Becker "More Everything Forever" that deals with the overlapping circles of "effective altruists", "rationalists", and "accelerationists". He's not very sympathetic to the movements as he sees them as mostly rationalizing what their adherents wanted to do anyway -- funding things like rockets and AI over feeding the needy because they see the former as helping more people in the future than dealing with real problems today.
