What about Drescher's Good and Real: Demystifying Paradoxes from Physics to Ethics? Eliezer said it's "pratically Less Wrong in book form."

Not a source, but definitely a parallel.

We have talked about Newcomb's problem with transparent boxes on here a few times - I'm pretty sure that's originally from Good and Real.

Yep. Gloriously lucid and quite readable book.
Encapsulates good chunks of the sequences.

Much more accessible than I had anticipated.
