Scott said in October 2022:

"I have an offer from a publisher to publish it if I run it by their editor who will ask me to edit lots of things, and I’ve been so stressed about this that I’ve spent a year putting it off. I could self-publish, but that also sounds like work and what if this is the only book I ever write and I lose the opportunity to say I have a real published book because I was too lazy?

The only answer I can give you is that you’re not missing anything and this is nobody’s fault but my own. Maybe at some point I will make up my mind and something will happen here, sorry."

Insider trading very much encouraged. Date resolves to whenever I can actually purchase the officially published book as confirmed by Scott, not whenever it is announced.

There are 2 new interludes and they are very good but overall there are very few changes to the story (which is good).

YES
