I found a website that purports that the remaining 4 books in the series are “coming soon.” But it doesn’t indicate a date, and I don’t know if they’re perpetually “coming soon” or if this is still a project being pursued. Anyone know about the status of these books?

The fact that the the latest release was in 2018 suggests to me that answer is probably no.

That being said, I don't think there's much significant difference between the original sequences and the published version aside from some copy editing. You can always find the blog posts the books are comprised of at https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/sequences [? · GW]

I believe there's also an epub/mobi version of the whole sequences floating around somewhere which you can easily sideload onto your EReader of choice.

The previous edition of the entire sequences is available as epub/mobi/pdf.

As the person who requested of MIRI to release the Sequences as paper books in the first place, I have asked MIRI to release the rest of them, and credibly promised to donate thousands of dollars if they did so. Given the current situation vis-a-vis AI, I'm not that surprised that it still does not appear to be a priority to them, although I am disappointed.

MIRI, if you see this, yet another vote for finishing the series! And my offer still stands!
