Can you expand on that?
Both book title and synopsis seem to indicate that it is focused on 
parallel programming, which is important but certainly not the only 
thing you'd want to do in the real world. Also, not all real-world tasks 
involve parallelism, so the claim that parallelism is required reading 
requires substantiation.
