Could there be a more appropriate book title for certain stereotypical L.A. denizens than Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein’s latest, How to Become Famous: Lost Einsteins, Forgotten Superstars, and How the Beatles Came to Be? Sunstein looks at why some people “make it” and some don’t based on data analysis and the role of serendipity (spoiler alert: viral TikTok videos have little to do with it). He speaks with actress Sonya Walger (Lost) at Book Soup.
