Celebrity Culture and the Manufacture of Fame in Late Modernity

Quick fact

In 1968, Andy Warhol predicted that 'in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.' Today, social media has made that prediction literal: anyone can go viral overnight and achieve a fleeting fame that is entirely manufactured by algorithm and audience, not by traditional achievement.

Why this is interesting

We all know someone famous for 'being famous'—but how does that actually happen without a single hit song, film, or invention? Why do we care so much about people who seem to offer nothing but their own lives?
