CHAPTER SIX

The Mirror Effect and How It Affects Us All

The celebrity is a person well known for his well-knownness. We risk being the first people in history to have been able to make their illusions so vivid, so persuasive, so realistic that we can live in them.

——Daniel Boorstin, The Image (1961)

The media give substance to and thus intensify narcissistic dreams of fame and glory, encourage the common man to identify himself with the stars and to hate the “herd,” and make it more and more difficult for him to accept the banality of everyday existence.

——Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism (1979)
