Curation Nation: How to Win in a World Where Consumers are Creators

The concept of "Curation" has rapidly moved from museums to mainstream media.

Truth was never simple, but facts were facts. Now, even that is changing. You feel the drift—the blur—as stories bend, facts fracture, and reality starts to feel . . . negotiable. That’s not failure—it’s the fight for the future of Truth. In The Future of Truth, we go on a truth treasure hunt. Author, filmmaker, and media explorer Steven Rosenbaum sets out to understand how this is happening—and what comes next. What begins as a personal investigation becomes something stranger and more urgent: a story about systems captured, consensus collapsing, and humans caught in the digital crossfire. In these pages, we’ll explore: How Truth is being bent, blurred, and synthesized, and how the ways we love, work, learn, and remember are changing—even history is no longer trusted Why institutions we recently trusted—medicine, education, justice, journalism—are collapsing under pressure of fast-moving, profit-driven AI What happens when war is waged with data, protests are hijacked by bots, and power hides behind precision algorithms How, in their hunger for clarity, robots erase Truth’s messy, beautiful middle, replacing it with something cold, confident, and designed to serve soulless AI, not the humans who built it At the heart of the book are exclusive, provocative conversations with some of the most original thinkers of our time: wild-haired philosopher David Chalmers calls it “a simulated reality crisis.” Cultural provocateur Douglas Rushkoff says, “Truth has been coded for profit.” Legal legend Larry Lessig warns of “an attention economy built to distort.” AI truth-teller Gary Marcus sees “confidence without comprehension.” Gen Z literary leader Hailey Colborn, raised inside the feed, says “Truth isn’t something you find—it’s something you perform.” And futurists and reformers Juan Enriquez, Esther Dyson, Steve Fuller, and Eli Pariser each offer raw, urgent, and provocative visions on where Truth is headed—and whether we can still catch it before it falls off a cliff. Part cultural investigation, part memoir, and part manifesto, The Future of Truth is a wild journey into the collapse—and the humans determined to rebuild Truth into something better, before AI rewrites reality without us.

The Future of Truth

Up to Speed means reaching a desired level of performance. Every minute employees are less than 100% proficient in their jobs has a direct and significant financial impact. Getting up to speed in weeks, months or years sooner is the focus of this book. This book is the story of applying the Learning Paths Methodology over the past fifteen years to reduce time to proficiency significantly for hundreds of jobs across most major industries. The story starts after the publishing of the book, Learning Paths: Increase Profits by Reducing the Time It Takes to Get Employees Up to speed. The Learning Paths book is still a valuable resource for tools, forms, and great ideas. Up to Speed is based on three key principles about how people really learn. First, learning is a process, not an event. Second, knowing and doing are not the same in fact they are very, very different. Third, training should be by design not by accident. The Learning Path Methodology treats learning as a process and then takes steps to reduce time, waste and variability by applying the best of process improvement, accelerated learning and change management techniques.
