My review of his book can be found on Amazon, and is reproduced here:

How do we determine if something has credibility, has quality?  One way is
to look at credentials.  Is the producer paid for what they do?  A
'professional'?  Are they doing it simply because they love it? An
'amateur'?  (Note the etymology of amateur)  What sort of credentials
matter?  How do we establish trustworthiness?

These aren't new questions.  People have struggled with this for ages,
usually much more thoughtfully than Mr. Keen has.

No, what Mr. Keen is doing is simply reworking the old quote from the Wizard
of Oz.

"Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every
pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas
has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great
learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out,
they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they
have one thing you haven't got: a diploma."

No, Mr. Wizard Keen, it isn't a diploma that matters.  What matters is the
ability to think critically.  No, having a diploma, or other credentials
isn't what makes you a great thinker.

Instead, we do need the democratization that "Web 2.0" has brought us.  We
need to encourage great thinkers that are not credentialed to share their
wisdom and we need to think critically about what gives something quality.

Unfortunately, Mr. Keen has failed in this, and becomes a perfect
illustration of people with credentials but not quality trying to hold on to
power.

Don't waste your money on this book.
