Is inetial mass a misinterpretation?

There is a definition of inertial mass in Special Relativity by N.M.J. Woodhouse on page 128.
"Suppose that a particle of rest mass
m
has velocity
v
relative to some inertial coordinate system. The quantities
m
I
= mγ(v)
and
p
= m
I
v
are the
inertial mass
and the
three-momentum
of the particle relative to the inertial coordinate system.
Four-momentum conservation is equivalent to conservation of inertial mass and of three-momentum (in every inertial coordinate system). The new feature of the relativistic theory is that the inertial mass of a particle increases with its velocity, albeit only very slightly for velocities much less than that of light.
Rest mass is a scalar--by its operational definition, it is an intrinsic quantity--but inertial mass is different in different inertial coordinate systems. Rest mass and inertial mass are equal for a particle at rest."
As
@Janus
has mentioned is this not energy that increases instead of mass?

Even the most obstinately ignorant cannot avoid learning when in an environment that educates.

Here is something related on transformation of forces.
