    Why is this any more frightening than any other panopticon society?

    If you aren't ambitious, and you don't find fame rewarding, life just goes on.

    @Klebert L. Hall: BUT what if other people find you interesting and insist on making you a celeb whether you like it or not? #popapocalypse

    @Jeremy Tapsell:
    You can always just ignore them. Privacy's dead in a panopticon world, so you don't have to worry about them invading it, anymore.

    If you don't alter your life because of the fame, it might as well not exist.

    I just wanted to note that a similar celebrity-based economy is depicted in Westerfeld's "Extras."
