Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

Brando Sando has answered the question a bunch of times, and said he's not interested at all. Also, GRRM previously said he would never allow it to be finished by anyone else. Who knows? Maybe the publisher will force it.

If I remembered correctly, Jordan had also expressed similar thoughts, look how that turned out.

If he really wanted it to remain unfinished he could have pulled a Pratchett and have his hard drive steamrolled.

(Though, to be fair if you really want your data gone you should probably use thermite.)

Or just drill a few holes in it, then remove the disks from the drive and microwave them for 10 minutes

That isn't always as effective as you'd think, especially with SSDs...

Holey SSDs, Batman!

microwave them for 10 minutes

Yeah, that'd probably do it (though I'm not sure what it'd do to your microwave.

Thermite is guaranteed to destroy your data (and probably the floor, or the floor and the table if you're dumb enough to do it on a table, and anything too close to your data... but that's besides the point, the data will be unrecoverable, that's the point).
