This thread is speaking of the original book.

> The book is a decade out of date at this point,

Companies continue to tell applicants to get the original book.

And the original book pretty much defined the current widespread techbro hiring idiocracy.

If the new book turns out to be a reversal, and begins with a passionate apology for earlier harm, and is made freely available (rather than double-dipping), and the original author goes on speaking tours (on their own dime) to recant to anyone who will listen, that would be a good start.
