We're going to inevitably have a hilariously long thread about this, I'm sure. So might as well start it now.

Along with his Amazon show The After, we knew that X-Files mastermind Chris Carter was also working on a project for AMC. It turns out it's going to cover some familiar ground for fans of his earlier work: Area 51. Today the network announced that the series — currently in development — is an adaptation of Annie Jacobson's Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base

Yup. Gonna watch that. I'm sure the book sucks, but whatever.

Will he leave the main mystery completely unresolved after 7 years? If so, fuck him.

Also, he still owes the world for that last shitty X-Files movie.

Carter is an ironic skipper for this boat.  The book is about the espionage / military development related work conducted in Area 51, and pretty much debunks any and all alien related topics.  However, there is a fair shade of (hopefully) insane conspiracy theory in the book as well, I hear - focused on the US government doing crazy experiments on people.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

Wait, what?  I'm pretty sure the main story was resolved in X-Files before he left.... it's just that the ratings were still good so they kept the dead horse around and retconned/grafted shit on top to milk more seasons.
