I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) book reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and expertise) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media by @rwg

ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web by @evan

Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life by @ntnsndr

Is that a good start already or is there something I am missing?

@chillicampari @rwg @ntnsndr More Awesome Than Money is a good read. It's about an earlier era in the social web but a lot of the vibes are there. A lot of people who went on to make ActivityPub are discussed in the book.

@chillicampari @rwg @ntnsndr my book is really a programmer's reference, but the first and last chapters are meant for all audiences.

@evan @rwg @ntnsndr yep, I sort of knew that already but it's good to have on hand in case I need it so I don't end up in the weeds (I think the general idea will need to be flexible for different audiences).
