Any further buzz on this?
Or is this old news.

It's certainly not old news as the book isn't out yet. However the fact the book isn't out yet means that there really isn't a lot to say about the book itself. On the one hand there is a bit of a tendency for books using pop culture to explain philosophy to maybe miss the point a bit. Either by twisting the pop to fit the philosophy or bringing the philosophy to bear where it doesn't really apply. On the other hand Joss' series have delved in a number of instances into the existential ouvre so this might be a case where a more rigorous examination might prove enlitening.
