Oct 11, 2019 at 2:54 comment added Andy Putman My guess: the date is inserted into the file with the latex \date{\today} command, and the displayed date is the last time the arXiv compiled the document. This is a common issue with papers on the arXiv (and why it is a good practice to hard-code your dates on them).
Oct 11, 2019 at 2:12 comment added Will Jagy A bit mysterious, but there is a book with that title and that author published. In the arxiv version he talks about the seemingly endless process of revision. Lurie is the real thing, borrow the book if curious

Oct 11, 2019 at 2:01 comment added Tim Campion That is curious. The observation is that arxiv v1 of Higher Topos Theory (dated August 2, 2006) compiles with a date of April 1, 2019 on the front cover (although the watermark still shows the correct date for the submission). With a date of April 1, maybe it is a vestige of some kind of April fools prank? It would be an elaborate and esoteric prank if it were one...
