I find it hard to tell what will happen with Bitcoin tomorrow, much less in 5 months... I am under the impression that there's a decent chance that by August, the Bitcoin story will be a great story to write a novel about. I guess there is also the chance that it will evolve and achieve some level of legitimacy. But for that to happen, a lot needs to happen between now and then, and I find it hard to believe that a book announced now will include that part of the story.

I used O'Reilly books extensively 10-25 years ago, but I have found them (and pretty much all other printed technical books) out of date too quickly in the last 5-10 years for them to be useful for technical stuff, and Bitcoin is evolving faster than even most things in the tech world.
