Unfortunately the book I wish existed didn't exist. I was about to write one for O'Reilly, but after the first exchanges I understood they were not the right match for me, so I abandoned the project. This happened several years ago, now I'm outside the Redis project so I'll not certainly write this book anymore. Later I started writing fiction, and during the process I understood that the bad vibes I had with O'Reilly were justified: the editor I had worked with tried to impose me a given shape for the book, a shape that I thought was not the right one. Their editing is massive and in the case of the Redis book they were destrying the book I had in mind. Writing a book is an insane amount of work, if you can't make it as you wish it is not worth the effort at all.
