I remember Tim Ferris had that same issue with stories going out of date with 4 hour work week (written back in 2007 - can you believe it?). If i remember correctly from some random interview he said that he didn’t update it beyond corrections because 1. he could just write another book to give new tools and stories etc… which he did with Tools of Titans. 2. He could update on blogs, podcasts etc… and 3. your same point of it being a document of sorts of its day which given the topic you write about I think that could be very useful. Through techs various eras there have been rebrands of tech and there has definitely been revisionists along the way who downplayed or wrote out the experiences of women and POC.
Yep, I’m going to read through and see if anything seems incorrect. I think this comment came because some of the stories of how women got into early tech no longer seem relevant today, so I’ll mull… but yeah might be time capsule!
