Seems like the must-read book over the next few months will be Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Hollywood Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy. The book is about the final years of former National Amusements (the company that controlled Viacom and CBS, which is now Paramount Global) owner Sumner Redstone and the various players seeking to take control of his company when he passed.
