520 | |a Jones explores how and why fame no longer stems only from heroic achievements but from the number of "likes" and shares-- and what this change means for American culture. He draws on his experience as the former managing editor of People magazine to profile celebrities he knew personally, and make observations about contemporary social media stars. In analyzing the stories of celebrities spanning decades and industries, Jones shows how celebrity has been wielded as a weapon of mass distraction to spawn narcissism, harm, and loneliness. -- adapted from jacket | ||
