Comments:
I read "The Long Tail" book and it is highly recommended. I disagreed with him on a few points, and it's not exactly a topic that lends itself to a book-length treatment, so there's a fair amount of repetition and the literary equivalent of styrofoam packing peanuts, but it's worthwhile nonetheless. It's amazing, though, how much a lot of his background and cultural change discussion could have come right out of the 2015 report we did.
