Book Review: Steven Rosenbaum's Curation Nation

Steven Rosenbaum's Curation Nation sports two subtitles: "Why the Future of Content is Context" and "How to Win in a World where Consumers are Creators." If I had to give a one-sentence book review it would read: Curation Nation gives context to, well, context.
