This book delves into the enduring human fascination with fame, questioning why individuals seek it and why society elevates certain people to god-like status. It explores the historical evolution of what constitutes fame, from ancient virtues and achievements to the modern cult of celebrity driven by reality television. The work examines how our perception of famous individuals shapes our self-identity and the complex power dynamics involved. It considers whether our current preoccupation with fame is a new phenomenon or a continuation of an age-old interest.
