O artigo da io9 diz que o livro estaria "concluído" em setembro de 2015, o que considero significar que Gerrold acabaria de escrevê-lo. De fato, em 26 de agosto de 2015, Gerrold compartilhou no Facebook que ele tinha terminado de escrever o primeiro rascunho.
The first draft of A METHOD FOR MADNESS is finished and in the hands of beta-readers.
Editing might take a few more months. But the bulk of the job is done.
Não consigo encontrar um relatório de progresso mais recente do que este, mas a FAQ do site de David Gerrold responde diretamente à sua pergunta:
Why is it taking so long to complete A Method for Madness?
Good question. All I can say is I’m probably more impatient than you are. I know what scenes and sequences still need to be written, and I know how they have to be written. I keep discovering new things about the Chtorran ecology. I want to work them all in, and I want to keep everything consistent, well-structured, and exciting. It’s hard work.
