It notably has a different number of pages (32 more) and a different publisher. Is this just a different (earlier?) version of the book, or is this a scam?
Seconded. The new hat and the pointier, greyer beard have taken him from “internet atheist” to “world-weary Jewish intellectual.” We need to be sagemaxxing. (Similarly, Nate-as-seen-on-Fox-News is way better than Nate-as-seen-at-Google-in-2017.)
Slightly derailing the conversation from the OP: I came across this variant on German Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/Anyone-Builds-Everyone-Dies-Superintelligent/dp/1847928935/

Not a scam. Bodley Head is handling the UK publishing, which (I guess?) also includes the english edition on German Amazon.
The general pipeline for the UK version (and squaring of all the storefronts) is lagging behind the US equivalents.
Also oddly, the US version is on many of Amazon’s international stores including the German store ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
