No need to worry about that one. Looking at Wikipedia's list of volume's, looks like distributed systems are not being covered. But I agree with you anyway.

No need to worry about that one. Looking at Wikipedia's list of volume's, looks like distributed systems are not being covered. But I agree with you anyway. Let's quote the man himself (taken from his website): "As I continue to write Volumes 4 and 5, I'll need to refer to topics that belong logically in Volumes 1--3 but weren't invented yet when I wrote those books". He plans to complete Volume 5 by 2025. Tune in ten years from now to see how it goes.
