Can you name a better book?


None off the top of my head but for the engineering topics in Part III I think it pays to read them as historical background material, then read the last decade of conference papers, talks, and articles.

Example: the section on backend subsetting in distributed systems is not current. If you wanted the current Google practice you need to read "Reinventing Backend Subsetting at Google"[1], and there are other interesting publications from other organizations.
