Hit Makers: How to Succeed in an Age of Distraction examines why certain songs, films, products, ideas, and cultural works become popular. Derek Thompson combines research, history, and case studies to argue that hits emerge from the interaction of familiarity, novelty, distribution, and social influence rather than appearing spontaneously.
