Apart from a couple of substantial differences in the API syntax (essentially the actorSelection method) and missing akka-persistence and clustering (which are not beginners topics anyway), I'd suggest you read through Wyatt's book anyway. The philosophy behind the actor model and messaging and almost all the basic tenets (e.g. supervision, failure handling, testing) examined by the book are still unchanged, and I think it's a really good read to grasp the subject. If you need updated information, I heartily suggest the reference documentation, which is one of the best I've seen, ever.
If you're in the mood, I won't discourage you to read other books on the subject, of course.
