Depends on what you want from a (text)book. In my mind books should be authoritative, they should include things that have had some thought put into them and are fairly well studied/verified. Modern advances in deep learning/ML are exciting but are very often not this. I would not a read a book which is just some recent hype papers from NeurIPS/ICML stapled together.
