Ask HN: What are continually updated books you'd like to see?

As a community, tech expects documentation to be 'up to date'. Maybe books will be more like this in the future?

By way of example: I'd like to see a continually updated book on climate change, that is both an in depth look at where we are and where we think we're going (new tech, etc). Wikipedia is something like this, but it's not linear, and that format is really helpful for onboarding people to ideas without assuming a lot of background knowledge.

    Basic casual wear fashion, what to buy now that will last for several years and not look outdated before it wears out, balances sustainability social responsibility and value.

    In essence: don't look stupid, don't harm the planet or people, don't waste money, don't think about it too much.
