Xenogothic's primer is probably the best place to start with accelerationism as a concept if you're totally new to it, followed by the accelerationist reader. From there it's kinda' up to you with where you want to go with it, but I read those two as primers to jump into Land's Fanged Noumena and the CCRU book and that seemed to work well for me.

You may have to do additional background reading to better equip yourself to deal with specific fields/writers/types of accelerationism, depending on your background with continental philosophy (primarily Hegel, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, along with some Lacan, Derrida, Foucault - at least a base level understanding of what they were all on about). Deleuze and Guattari will come up quite a bit too, though it's a little hard for me to just say 'read Anti-Oedipus lol' because the book is wild, hard, and kinda' long if you're just getting into things. It might also be good to be familiar with Lovecraft if you aren't already. It'll be important later.

To recommend something a little different on top of all that that I don't hear talked about too much - Eugene Thacker's Horror of Philosophy books are actually quite good from an accelerationist-primer perspective. They don't deal with the philosophy as-such, but they do a very good job at exploring facets of outsideness, which can be a bit tricky to grasp if you're new to the subject. The books are decent in their own right, especially if you are a horror fan, and let's be honest, if you're reading acceleartionist texts and you're not a consummate seeker of horror then you're doing something wrong.
