That doesn't mean it's wrong. That just means it's out of date.
I was referring more like fiction books, religious books, etc.
I ran across on my bookshelf a college textbook (copyright 1974) named
something like "Mathematics of Computer Graphics." All the math was still
spot-on, but it was amusing to look at (for example) a bank of
potentiometers labeled "typical graphical input device", and a teletype
shown as "low cost graphics output" next to an ASCII art sine wave.
