      I think the book 'Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming' by Cachin et al gives a better and more rigorous overview of distributed systems theory than anything else I've seen mentioned on this thread: www.distributedprogramming.net

      Books:

      Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Christian-Cachin/dp/3642152597).

      I took a class with Luis Rodrigues (one of the authors), the book introduces the fundamentals of distributed systems. For example, you would build leader election from first principles.

      I would suggest "Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming" (https://www.amazon.de/Introduction-Reliable-Secure-Distribut...).

      I never read the book, but took a course with author based on this book. It was fun and interesting; covering both basic and advanced concepts in distributed systems.
