There's no way that the book he wrote is still relevant even if he did finish it. Imagine it coming out in June when most of it was written pre-2022. He's got a real challenge now to somehow make it relevant assuming changes that will happen in months between submitted to publisher and coming to store shelves/Amazon.

Yeah I definitely believe that he's finished it, but the traditional publishing industry can no longer keep up with the speed this stuff is moving at. He might have to change large sections of the book or start predicting further out somehow. To be honest, I find his "computronium" idea the weakest of his predictions, so I hope he doesn't go that route!
