Fame is like lightning. Taylor Swift Bob Dylan Leonardo da Vinci Jane Austen Oprah Winfrey-all of them were struck. Why? What if they hadn't been? Consider the most famous music group in history. What would the world be like if the Beatles never existed? This was the question posed by the playful thought-provoking 2019 film Yesterday in which a young completely unknown singer starts performing Beatles hits to a world that has never heard them. Would the Fab Four's songs be as phenomenally popular as they are in our own Beatle-infused world? The movie asserts that they would but is that true? Was the success of the Beatles inevitable due to their amazing matchless talent? Maybe. It's hard to imagine our world without its stars icons and celebrities. They are part of our culture and history seeming permanent and preordained. But as Harvard law professor (and passionate Beatles fan) Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music literature business science politics and other fields he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the roles played by greatness luck and contingency in the achievement of fame. Sunstein examines recent research on informational cascades network effects and group polarization to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books and in the literary canon and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters from John Keats William Blake and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan Ayn Rand and Stan Lee-as well as John Paul George and Ringo. How to Become Famous takes you on a fun captivating and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's fifteen minutes of fame and on what vaults some to the top-and leaves others in the dust.
