I feel there is a particular lack of introduction materials for people who do not have a computer science background, despite the fact that those people can have very outside the box ideas.
Also on doomerism—have been dealing with that a lot in my climate activism. A lot of us have profited immensely from books like “Hope in the dark” and “Active hope”, which frame hope as something arising not from justified optimism, but from the importance of the goal and the action taken for it, even when it seems unimaginable to actually succeed at this time. Solnit in particular makes a good argument that a complete lack of certainty that we can save ourselves is not the same as certainty that we are doomed, and that uncertainty brings with it opportunities and potential.
