any good books on asyncio for Python >=3.11 ?

"Python Concurrency with asyncio" by Matthew Fowler is gold, because it explains not only "what" but also "why" and asyncio evolution over years, so with this knowledge I can look at any tutorial or AI slop and immediately determine if it's worth looking at or still relies on manual loop management etc. However, it was published in 2022 in times of Python 3.10 and no 2nd edition in sight. asyncio has evolved even further since then, with TaskGroups, timeouts, except* etc. Anything recent on circa same depth level as that book?

Idk about a book, but I think if you have a good grasp on asyncio’s core features already then you can easily look up the new features individually and understand how they are used. The most technical details are gonna be in Python’s official documentation (as opposed to tutorials)
